Den lekfulla platsen Kursens idé tog sitt språng från platsen, ett upplevt rum som studenterna slumpvis skulle välja på en karta. Studenterna började med att undersöka platsens ande: Genius Loci. Slutuppgiften var att skapa ett spel på platsen där de existerande föremålen användes eller nya föremål skapades. Studenterna skulle tömma platsen på dess innehåll, undersöka de föremål som fanns där samt reflektera över den materialitet som fanns på plats eller som de event-uellt ville tillföra. Med ledord som lekfullhet, handlingar, atmosfär, interaktion och känsla skulle studenterna sedan iscensätta ett spel på platsen. Spel i det här fallet kunde tolkas fritt utifrån de handlingar som platsen och dess objekt inspirerade till. Det övergripande syftet med kursen var att betona den digitala artefaktens avsaknad av tydliga fysiska egenskaper och därför skulle studenterna arbeta med materialitet och en fysisk rumslighet för att komma närmare en annan typ av process och design än vad studenterna vanligtvis arbetar med digitalt. Tanken med uppgiften var att ge kunskap om vad Löwgren och Stolterman i Design av informationsteknik – Materialet utan egenskaper (2004) nämner som ”Reflekterande design”, att studera syftet med design och resultatet av denna, det vill säga hur omvärlden påverkas av de beslut designern tar, i det här fallet genom att involvera människor på platsen i de handlingar som studenterna skapade.

DEN POLITISKA PLATSEN De arbeten som presenteras i denna bok är resultatet av årets studentarbeten inom kursen Design, innovation, kreativitet för IMD 12. Kursens ambition har varit att utforska och uppmuntra till kreativitet, från konceptstadie till utförande där mottot har varit att våga, testa, gå utanför ramarna, tänja på gränserna. Detta motto har återspeglats både i gästföreläsningarna och i studenternas projektarbeten. Årets tema för kursen har varit politik då vi befinner oss mitt i ett valår. Designuppgiften var att designa ett fysiskt offentligt rum för politisk aktion. Under designprocessen har studenterna gjort en förstudie av en plats, som bestått i att utforska den valda platsens egenskaper, dess ”själ” genom sinnliga upplevelser såsom att observera, känna, lukta, och kanske smaka på platsen samt att lära sig om dess historia och bakgrund. En plats bär på en historia, minnen, och spår och genererar olika upplevelser beroende på t ex väder, veckodag, sammanhang. I designprocessen har studenterna fått utforska rumslighet, materialitet, kroppslighet och samarbete i en fysisk kontext för att nå en förståelse för hur mål, material och kontext samspelar med varandra. Projektarbetena har alla tagit upp aktuella politiska problem och frågor som rör lokala och globala frågor såsom miljön, våga byta väg, utförsäljningen av det gemensamma, rasism, jämställdhet, fattigdom, hälsa, hemlöshet. Gemensamt för alla studentarbeten är att de uppvisar en stor kreativitet, mod, glädje, lust, hög ambitionsnivå och noggrannhet. Projekten har skapat social uppmärksamhet där de utförts, en del projekt har även skapat medial uppmärksamhet.
