Details on the course content (applies in this implementation):
In this workshop, the students utilize sensorial approach to designing by exploring how smells and sounds in a space become materials used in conceptual material / spatial designing. The students scope methods and ways of articulation through multi-modal techniques such as textile¬, 3D sketching, sound recording, filming and photography. The results of the workshop will be spatial installations, videos or material exploration boards.
Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Lectures, excursions, tutoring, individual and team work, assignments, learning diary, Evaluation: To be defined according the theme and the content.

Additional information for the course (applies in this implementation):
The workshop is organized by the senior lecturer Margareta Zetterblom (PhD) and the researcher Jyoti Kapur (PhD) from the Swedish School of Textiles, the University of Borås.
Senior lecturer Margareta Zetterblom (PhD)
Educated textile designer at the Swedish School of Textiles with specialisation in textile sound design. I have also been working as product developer and textile interior designer at Acqwool Development AB. Artistic projects designing space defining textile art installations in public spaces have also been part of my professional career.
Since four years I am the program director for the Bachelor education in Textile
Design at the Swedish School of Textiles and I am teaching in design methodology and weaving both BA and MA level. Within my research capacities I have developed a Sound Lab at the department where I run workshops with the students in textile sound design.
Currently I am working with an ongoing research project founded by the Swedish Research Council Urban Materiality together with partners from the Academy of arts and craft and the architectural department at Chalmers University of Technology. The focus of this project is on textile facade materials absorbing or diffusing sound in the urban landscape.
Researcher Jyoti Kapur (PhD)
Specialised in knitwear fashion design from India, I have been practicing my profession since 1996 across different countries - India, Germany, China and Switzerland. In addition, I did a Master’s Degree in Textile and Clothing Technology in Germany, graduating with a Best Graduate Award from VDI- 2005, Baden Wuerttemberg and an Award for Outstanding Achievement of a foreign Student from DAAD-2004. Later I graduated with Master of Arts in Transdisciplinarity from Switzerland, before joining the PhD doctoral studies in Design, within the ArcInTexETN network H2020 project in, Sweden.
Through the artistic research, I connect textiles to spatial design through olfaction. I explore ways to understand the invisible materiality within the research practice and also ways of its representation when designing spaces. Through olfactive interactions in relation to body in space, this research is looking at the tactile sense as one way of representation and by creating an experiential environment where the dimension of smell in designing spaces can be perceived.
