About this course
A journey through the discourse of design in Denmark, with a particular focus on Danish design since the post-war period. Discover and challenge how aesthetics in Danish design are most often situated in deeper social, environmental, and economic concerns. The disciplines, strategies, and viewpoints of Danish design are considered in global contexts. Strengthen your observational and critical skills by participating in Field Studies, lectures, symposia, exams, and crafting an analytical design notebook.
