Particular focus is on crafting a proper academic object, formulating a good problem statement, structuring one’s data collection, and getting a first grasp on method, theory and analysis. This introduction is primarily for Ph.D.-students from the art, architecture, and design schools, aiming particularly at those who are in the early phases of their projects Teaching is based on the participants’ individual project descriptions. No previous experience with academic production is expected. The goal is to critically identify each project’s inherent academic requirements and preferred strategy, and to help students meet the established academic criteria and standards from early on.
