Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The purpose of this course is to give the student the opportunity to make a mini design research experiment, where the student study one specific and narrow focus area/choosen subject. This mini design experiment will develop the student’s ability to define and frame a specific topic and to explore this through experimental and scientific experimentation. The student will create findings that can be realted to the praxis of designing with light and/or be used as a experimental reference for semester project reports of LiD9 or Master Theses.
