ARTS-E1000 - ARTS Summer School, Lecture, 6.8.2023-21.8.2023

Aim:

The aim of the assignment is to produce background information for the summer school based on the use of wood internationally. The assignment is conducted individually. Each student should study the use of wood in living environments (architecture, landscape architecture or interior architecture, design, products etc.) in the context of their home country or culture or the country of their home institution.

The students should select two case studies one showcasing the traditional or historical use of wood and one contemporary example. The case study examples can be construction projects, furniture, products etc. The case studies should be selected based on a concept of the student’s choosing from assignment 2.

Output:

The findings will be collected on a Miro board where students can add pictures, diagrams, text, links etc. As the students are working, they can see the work of the other students.

The assignment output will be printed as posters but not to be shown as presentation. Posters should be designed as self-explanatory so that the other students can return to it for international references during the summer school.

The Miro board will be printed out and exhibited during the summer school. The assignment output should be added to Miro by July 31st.
