Company/Institution
FHNW HGK Basel
In the Experimental Design Master Studio, current and future living environments are critically questioned and redesigned. We investigate processes and translate a norm-critical, post-disciplinary and post-anthropocentric stance into an experimental design practice. Research-based engagement with current social and environmental challenges such as climate change, social inequality, demographic change, and technological transformations of our living worlds is fundamental to students' work.
