Course detail
FaVU-DKP1Acad. year: 2022/2023
The idea of the course is based on the practice of teachers who, within one team, deal with broad-spectrum research and the possibilities of intervention in specific localities in Slovakia and Brno, especially in the field of urbanism and housing policy. They seek a purposeful mapping of localities in their broad context of relationships which later becomes fundamental of possible development scenarios and the subsequent design and facilitation of steps leading to their fulfilment.
An interdisciplinary methodology is needed for this purpose, which combines design, social science and forensic approaches. Teachers have a background in fine arts, design, architecture, and related theories, as well as in social anthropology.
Through data collection and analysis, they will identify opportunities, links and problems in given localities. The obtained data will serve not only to improve the study competencies of course participants, but also the life situation of the actors in selected localities, although it would only be a theoretical improvement at the level of proposals. The course combines theoretical and practical components in design, as well as the reflexivity of design and design practice and its specific tools (e.g. gamification).
Key areas we will touch upon in the course:
- current theories and methodologies of social science and design research
- research ethics
- forensic practice (e.g. Forensic Architecture)
- design theory (HCD, critical and speculative design)
- design practice (proposal of possible development scenarios in the localities in question and steps towards their fulfilment)
- spatial analysis and visualisation of "big" data (work in the geographic information system ArcGIS)
- field research / intervention

Course curriculum
1. Introduction. Division into groups.
2. Theory and methods of interdisciplinary research. Discussion of research topics in relation to
current design methodologies, forensic practice, and qualitative methods.
3. Intensive entry into the field.
4. Analysis of feasibility, relevance, needs in topics of each group respectively.
5. Breakdown of design challenges into partial steps. Division of competencies in groups.
6. Implementation of partial steps in the field.
7. Reflections and consultations on the first implementation with the teachers of the course.

Aims
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the nature and ethics of qualitative research and field practice, methods of forensic mapping and contemporary design theory, which they will be able to try on model cases in practice in specific localities.
At the beginning of the winter semester, students will be divided into project groups. The aim of the lessons in the winter semester is to introduce the basic principles of field research and design methods. During the semester, students should develop a concept and time schedule for their respective group projects, which would be then implemented in certain field circumstances.
