  • Formål

    THE RESOURCE PARADIGM OF FASHION // Part 1 has a theoretical foundation, and the student is challenged to have a critical look at the fashion industry's handling of resources related to product solutions, production methods, processes, systems and consumption patterns. The student gains insights and understanding of future trends and drivers and learns to develop future scenarios, a concept and a design brief to meet the current and future needs in relation to transformative resource development. Focus will be on new directions and opportunities for the industry, in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and future drivers such as new technologies, innovative material solutions, new forms of production, human resources, animal welfare, etc.

    The student acquires knowledge, skills and competencies that will enable them to challenge product solutions, production methods, processes, systems including consumption patterns, and to clarify the social, environmental and economic consequences and capabilities of the design solution globally as well as locally.

    As part of the module, the student hands in and presents the defined assignments. Focus will also be on the student's learning process and the accompanied documentation throughout the module.

    Forudsætninger for indstilling til eksamen
    Specialisation module 2 includes 2 mandatory activities

    The student is required to hand in their concept and design brief (1) at the end of the module which will be evaluated in class together with the teacher. In addition, the student must also hand in a process book (2) at the end of the module which will be evaluated in class together with the lecturer and peers. Students who do not participate in the final oral presentation must instead hand in a written/visual substitute assignment in order to meet the mandatory requirement.

    Prøveform
    Kombineret skriftlig og mundtlig prøve
    Opgavetype
    The assignment takes as its starting point a specialisation-specific keyword, which will be disclosed at the start of the exam period. Based on the key word, the student formulates a problem which they will elaborate on in a free written paper which must include methods, processes and analyses. During the exam period, the student must carry out empirical work, the analysis of which must form part of the written paper and be further elaborated on at the oral exam.

    During the exam period, the student develops a solution and prepares a presentation both of which they will bring along to the oral exam. The solution may be material and/or immaterial. However, it is important that the solution is oriented towards the specialisation and the profession that the student is training for. The quality of the solution should be such as is to be expected of a professional bachelor in Design and Business. There must always be consistency in the corelation between the type of solution, its quality and the professional standard and learning objectives of the line of specialisation.
    Formkrav
    The scope of the written paper is 5 standard pages +/-10%. The written paper must, as a minimum, include:
    • Table of contents
    • Introduction
    • Problem formulation
    • Method

    • Analysis
    • Conclusion
