Der MACD war mit einigen Studierenden bei der diesjährigen Exkursion unserer Fakultät zum Mailänder Salone del Mobile dabei. Der ‘Salone’ ist die weltweit größte Möbelmesse und zieht jährlich über eine Viertelmillion Besucher an. Alle Firmen mit Rang und Namen zeigen dort ihre neuesten Produktideen und Designs, aber auch junge Büros und Absolventen stellen aus – es gab also viel zu sehen!

In addition to the pictures they brought back home with them, Angela and Amrei wrote a short report about the DesignCamp:
“We (Angela Haas, Amrei Kellner) had the great opportunity to go to the Design Camp 2010 as representatives of Pforzheim University. Kolding School of Design invited 21 interdisciplinary students from some of the world’s best universities for two weeks to Denmark to work on the theme: “New Ways of Transportation” with a strong emphasis on public transport in the region of Kolding, Denmark.
The camp started with a very intense kick off. Barnabas Wetton from the Kolding School of Design and Cordy Swope from IDEO gave a very good lecture, which introduced us to the design process.
To cope with different backgrounds and cultures we were given a very clear framework, which had a great impact on the groupwork and process. We had a lot of fun thinking, learning and creating new concepts. During the camp we had additional lectures about new materials and colors from Professor Hilary Dalke and Jakki Dehn from Kingston University, London. Professor Michael Braungart gave an outstanding lecture about “cradle to cradle”. The first step was to define a clear challenge related to new ways of transportation. The “How might we…” questions made it possible to go through the design process without losing the main group goal. In addition we defined success criteria to recheck our work and to get a high-flying output. The whole time there were teachers from the school available to support us. We were impressed how they gave us great feedback and always encouraged and enabled us to take the direction we thought was best. For example by organizing materials that we needed to make good prototypes and by helping us when problems arised.
To sum it up, in the Design Camp we were directed how to use design thinking at it’s best practice. The given structure and code of behavior made it possible to get a great output from intercultural and interdisciplinary students from all over the world with a high fun potential. We had a wonderful time there and made a lot of new friends. Thanks for for sending us!
Amrei and Angela”

…wie schon im letzten Jahr haben nun auch wieder zwei MACD-Drittsemester am DesignCamp 2010 in Kolding, Dänemark teilgenommen: Amrei Kellner und Angela Haas. Sie hatten dort die Möglichkeit, 12 Tage mit Designern aus aller Welt zusammenzuarbeiten und sind begeistert wieder zurückgekommen – vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an die Kolding School of Design und die Organisatoren des DesignCamps!
“21 students from international design schools around the world – Canada, the UK, Holland, India, China, New Zealand, Syria, Germany and the USA – participated in DesignCamp 2010. In collaboration with 17 Danish students from Kolding School of Design and University of Southern Denmark they have designed solutions to push us out of our cars and onto public transport. And with excellent results. Standards have been high – the students have been commended for their skills and their commitment” (1).
Uns erreichte nach Ende des Workshops folgende Email, über die wir uns sehr gefreut haben:
“Dear Vancouver, Cleveland, London, Damascus, Utrecht, Pforzheim, Bangalore, Shanghai and Auckland!
Dear Friends!
Thank you for letting us borrow your great students for our DesignCamp 2010 – New Ways of Transportation!
It has been 14 intense days here in Kolding! Your and our students have worked with great spirit and a lot of power and intensity! There were all together 38 students from 10 countries – but I have no idea how many nationalities we had! E.g. from our school we had students from Cuba, Italy and USA among the “Danish” students! And we had a Canadian from India!
Friday was the Grand Finale where the students presented their work for people from the industry and we had 3 specialists judging the students. The specialists were a professor from DTU,( the Danish Technical University) the design manager from DSB,( the Danish RailWay) and designer Cordy Swope from IDEO.
The students discovered that public transport needs to be more beautiful, more fun and more comfortable
E.g. some suggested a combination of busses and taxis, beautiful waiting rooms, e.g. family rooms/can (see above), busses with haddocks or with more room for your shopping. They were taught to ask questions such as How might we??
You can see the student projects here: http://www.designskolenkolding.dk/index.php?id=3298
Friday DSBs design director Mikael Fuhr praised the students that they had gone up in a helicopter perspective and had made “design before design.” – You have asked all the necessary questions and with this approach you will have much more influence as designers than if you just finish the processes by only making things beautiful, he said. Hanne Lindegaard from the Department of Planning, Innovation and Management at DTU, was pleased to see the students’ team spirit. – When working with designers, I often feel that designers sell themselves. You have worked well together and presented the whole project with pride. It was a good experience, she said. Cordy Swope said he never before experienced a design camp, where students have worked so well together as on this camp. He was pleased that the students had been crazy and brave enough to work on such difficult projects and thought that all had landed on their feet.
We will now put together all the material and will publish a book and a video is being edited at the moment. We will put that on the website. You can read about the camp here: http://www.designskolenkolding.dk/index.php?id=3277
We hope you will link to the project on your own website.
Once again thank you for sending your students! And we shall be in touch.
On behalf of the DesignCamp team –
Anette Flinck”
Anette hat uns ein paar Bilder vom Workshop geschickt (s.u.), und demnächst werden wir and dieser Stelle auch Fotos von Angela und Amrei posten.
