Subject of course

The goal of the lecture exercise is to provide basic knowledge related to the relationships between material, function, form, and content in the development and production of objects. Students will engage practically and methodically with the research, conceptualization and creation of form studies within the form-finding process, and produce presentable 1:1 objects. These will be presented in a publicly accessible presentation as part of the collaboration with the Weltmuseum.
