Educational philosophy
Throughout the program, the department organises at least two yearly workshops, whereby current developments are linked into a design project. The workshops are intended as a short intense period of investigation and the results of this study is to be translated into presentable products. The workshops are often on location and research and presentation are linked to this specific location. You are partially responsible for the organisation of some of the logistics and the content.
There will be collaboration with institutions and organisation that combine social goals with the power of creative experimentation. Themes depend on the location and current affairs and are associated with social design.
Another important aspect is the interdisciplinary nature of the workshops. The results of the (design) research are presented to an audience including people from the outside world. Publicity and presentation are part of the workshops.

Conducting research and translating the results into presentable products. Collaboration on matters of logistics, presentation and publicity. Reflecting on the role of the spatial designer in terms of current affairs.

Methodology
The students should actively engage in the substantive and logistical organisation. Researching and translating the findings through clear presentations and reports.
