Selective elective course (6 ECTS)

The course deals with the interaction between new technology and advanced form generation. Highly skilled designers and engineers who work with advanced manufacturing technology will attend the course during different workshops. The end result of the course will be physical products.

See pfd from course presentation >>>

The course will work and research through new manufacturing trends, that could be the foundation for advanced form-generation. The course will give insight to the alleged paradigm shift within production technology that could lead to new ways of generating form.

• Workshops and lectures
• Research both individually and in groups
• The course will end up in an actual product

There will be 4 milestones with submission of material. All 4 are compulsory for passing the course. Also, there is an 80% attending required on the workshops.

Two external sensors will judge the work submitted.

The course is assessed as pass/fail, subject to the Regulations for Master's degree programmes at Oslo School of Architecture and Design, § 6-14.
