Studios are the creative heart of the BA study programme at Design Academy Eindhoven. A studio at DAE is where students learn to translate their ideas and principles that they have developed at the Academy into their own practice as a designer. The toolbox filled in the ongoing Fundamentals programme will be used here. The Morning Studio explores design as a tool for constructive protest and collective action. Opposing by proposing, patient but stubborn, as a group if we can, fully autonomous if we must. At times with humour and irony, always with great attention and care. Society and our direct surrounding serve as our exploration field. Whilst analysing the structures and systems we are all part of, we rely on our intrinsic motivation to identify opportunities for change. We design for concrete situations and want to address a real audience. Rather than ‘design thinking’ we prefer ‘design doing’. Fieldwork and hands-on experiments are taken as a welcome opportunity for deepening insights and sharpening skills.
