    • PAD-course will be conducted, but online

      Dear all,

      while the situation with the Corona virus is developing around the Globe, I'm writing this to ensure you that we try to run a productive PAD-course in the fifth study period. There may a bit more reading materials, but we'll have lectures and an assignment as well. And, there will be exciting, reflective essay-writing to do as well! Let's all do our best in creating a great learning experience, I promise to do my share - we all are in a privileged situation with the chance to academically develop ourselves.

      In PAD-course, there is a material element included. We may not have the studios available for us during the course, but let's use digital tools and rough, homemade prototyping means, to provide us the essential element of design, i.e. the creation of representations to guide the generation of design knowledge.

      With that in mind, if you have free time due to circumstances, and are inclined that way, you may want to take a peek at 3D-modelling tools available at download.aalto.fi for your home computer, and refresh your skills. If you aren't inclined that way, don't fret, this will be a team assignment and we'll create the teams in a way sufficiently concerning the skillsets of students.

      Youtube and LinkedIn Learning (ask for credentials from me if needed) has a wealth of tutorials about software.

      Most importantly, let's stay safely isolated physically for now, but in contact with each others in other means. If you know a fellow student who may be on their own and you wonder how they are doing, take contact by phone, email, some. Let's be available for each others.

      Lastly, my Syllabus was thrown upside down, and I'm preparing it now for release. It should be available at the end of next week.

      Cordially,

      Seve
