An exhibition about artistic methods in architecture and design.
In a world where sustainability is the starting point, and major crises call for extensive changes in value chains and behaviour, working methods such as the artistic ones are important to bring into play. The methods are used i.a. of architects and designers and has the potential to set up positive scenarios for the future, embrace interdisciplinarity, deal with complex issues and involve our senses, so that we get culture and identity involved in the changes.
Unpredictability is a fundamental premise of the artistic methods. Architects and designers learn to choose the methods that make sense in relation to the specific problem they are facing or the experiment they want to carry out. Inspiration is drawn from other sciences, art and culture, or from the public and commercial world. There is rarely an unequivocal solution, and the artistic methods give room for personal and aesthetic interpretation.
