Description
In recent years we have witnessed an increase of alternative ways of creation, focusing on collaboration, exchange, and networking. Artists, architects, designers, and other disciplines are collaborating with/in everyday working environments. Economists, ecologists, and activists are together approaching environmental problem situations. Transdisciplinary and transversal activities are extending the scope of action. Creatives contribute significantly to find new solutions for complex problem situations.
How to work in and how to benefit from such transdisciplinary constellations and collaborations? This module offers insights into unorthodox working modes unfamiliar to many disciplines. It explores shared spaces as innovative hotspots, where collaborative knowledge production and problem solving will be experienced and debated.
The course consists of the following learning units.
A. Individual preparation and reading in advance: Student will get a reader with related texts and sources 2 weeks before the module starts.
B. Introduction to the field and its contextual and methodological constellations.
C. Learning units with experience-oriented and collaborative settings. Engaging in fields of action and related practices according to the following steps:
1. Cooperate/share (team building, envision a collaborative project, create a sphere of action)
2. Reflect/research (learning from each other)
3. Act/co-create/make it happen (establish and fund your project)
Learning Outcomes
Shared spaces mostly arise from practice. Shared spaces are physical or mental spaces where people from different disciplines work together, learn new things and inspire each other. Negotiation, exchange and collaboration play an important role. By crossing disciplinary and other boundaries and establishing shared spaces all involved have assumed a leading role.
Students
¢ bring in their own practice and knowledge and
¢ make it available for cooperation and co-creation. In doing so they
¢ reflect the functions of creativity in global contexts, in particular the collaborative and participatory orientation in transdisciplinary research and problem solving.
