One-week workshops

ElkjøpRottefella web

Recently I have conducted two one week workshops at the Ålesund University College (www.hials.no) and at the University College of Oslo and Akershus (www.hioa.no).

This one- week format has proven to be an efficient way to get an introduction to Systems Oriented design. During the week the program contains a series of lectures, tutoring and independent work. We always start with big paper formats and migrate to digital illustrating tools to produce a print out version in the end.

Small Scale Energy Harvesting

small scale_energy

Francesco Zorzi from Italy was joining the Systems Oriented Design Studio in 2009 called "Challeng of Complexity"

He made a project of super distributed energy harvesting where objects collected their own energy and the surplus was stored in a "energy piggy bank".

The extraordinary nice graphics that he produced as a result from the studio have been used by me frequently to inspire and demonstrate good work.

Now it is a pleasure to learn that this work is going to be published in a new book IdN Extra - the Infographic Issue' book
