Content

In this course you are introduced to a methodology that support the handling of complexity in design. One of the major methods in this course is GIGA-mapping, which builds on cooperation among students and clients, with lay-people, professionals, and researchers from other disciplines (intra- and inter disciplinary). GIGA-mapping involves the visualization of data in order to accumulate, communicate, and analyze data in order to understand and create products and services within complex systems and structures. The complexity relates to the social/political, environmental, economic and technological contexts in which the designer as well as the product and service that they create, will perform and influence. The methodology in this course builds on systems- and game theory.
