Course detail
FaVU-4DCPAcad. year: 2023/2024
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 fundament 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. Consultants from the field of law and social geography will also be invited to contribute. Students will get introduced to this methodology and will be practically involved, especially in the forensic part of the research. 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 visualization of "big" data (work in the geographic information system ArcGIS)- field research / interventionThe increased number of credits for this course (4) corresponds to the time required for the successful completion of the course (field practice, homework, seminars).
