- Brief description
Detached from the usual spatial-analytical and function-bound design methodology, a design process is to be developed for a defined open-space task using an experimental approach. The focus here is on an individual approach that arrives at a form through experimentation in an open-ended process. This can involve experimenting freely with unusual, unfamiliar or artistic, analogue or digital means and a targeted restriction of content or media can guide the process.
