We take a walk through the city of Zurich and develop ways of observation. Through the technique of Promenadology developed by Swiss sociologist and design theorist Lucius Burckhardt, a vivid attitude towards perception and reality arises. This gives us the opportunity for an in-depth understanding of urban space, its infrastructures and interactions, and thus the basis for a human- or community-centered design. Let´s see how everything originates out of a certain nature.

What means being human in the world? In this essential of all questions Immanuel Kant´s three fundamental questions arose: What can I know? What should I do? What can I hope? Before we deal with the shaping of our world, let us examine the question of what humanity means at all. Is there a sufficient answer to this question and where do we find a systematic discourse?
We will invite students from 2nd year and talk about their view on topics we have discussed beforehand.

Questions: What means environment, human, affordance, technology, art, design, user?

...

We discuss concepts such as "embodiment", "mind-body dualism", "education", "affordance", "affect", and take a quick look at the Skinner Box. We talk about the design and readability of incentives in our environment and ask: Is there a difference between behaviour, social behaviour, and conditioned behaviour? What do we have to consider as a designer when we first know this difference?
We will invite students from 3rd year and talk about their view on topics we have discussed beforehand.

Questions: What means human behaviour, embodiment, mediation and thinking through design?

...

What means consciousness? How do we think, what a personified experience is and how can we maneuver between atomism and holistic world experience? What is certain, is Bruno Labour: "As soon as theory has performed its analytical section and the sound of the breaking bones is heard, it is no longer possible to explain how we are to construct and how to live. Then there is only an attempt to subdue subjects and objects, words, and the world, society, nature, mind, and matter, all of which are mere shards, which are made to prevent any harmony."
We will invite students from the Master Interaction Design program about their view on topics we have discussed beforehand.

Questions: What means thinking, consciousness, control, human experience and responsibilty?

...

What happens, if relationships between people change and what might this be related to technology? We are trying to develop an idea about what we call the social, about networks and the role of design.
We will visit the design studio (former students of the Interaction Design programme) Interactive Things, Zürich

Questions: What means social, frameworks, economies, cyber culture, surveillance?
