Why work with Food + Design?
Because we as designers and architects have some fantastic tools and unique knowledge in correlation with developing new fields that the food and the meal have for the last years been moving into.Ingredients, the Food, the Meal, there is exciting and challenging development on the way. The tendency in the industry of agriculture, fishery and gardening is changing towards being big, efficient and highly specialised units that base the development on use of the newest knowledge and technology. And at the same time the consumer thereby becomes more and more demanding towards quality and especially experience. This makes increasing demands on the knowledge institutions, advisors and suppliers that work with research, education and knowedge dissemination in a profession that is economically under pressure in a global supply chain.
In the food industry the need for innovation has probably never been bigger. Companies and the retailing launch a row of new services, products and distribution types that have to fulfill the client’s request for low price, convenience, health, sustainability and experience. It is now the designer has to be in play! Because we as designers and architects are trained to keep many balls in the air, to coordinate complex tasks, but first and foremost to work holistically and towards future changes. In Denmark we therefore have to create tradition so designers and architects dare to influence innovation and development regarding the food field. |
At the Center for Food Science, Design & Experience we work daily with more of those problems, but still we want further! For that we need you!The Summer school Food+Design provides a workshop where you as design, architecture- and engineering student are able to achieve and try out knowledge and experience related to the many fields that are connected to food design processes.
We are going to work with concrete tasks and food related problems that we are daily researching and working on in Center for Food Science, Design & Experience. Tasks that are all linked to certain user groups and selected companies with a specific need for innovative and ground-breaking design proposals. During the course you will, besides the above mentioned design professional competencies minded towards food design, get insight in the food profession’s techniques and practice, and the tasks will give you tools to be able to connect and coordinate an interdisciplinary design understanding with an innovative and research related production practice in food related companies.

Project description
CONTENT The summer school starts at 15:00 the 15th of August 2010 and ends at 21:30 the 23rd of August 2010. It will be running every day of the week from 8:15 to 21:30. The purpose is to design pasta that is fitting a new fish “to go” product for the EU project “Nordjyske Fisk med Oplevelse“ and to design a packaging for the fish “to go” product. The summer school features lectures, group work and fieldwork. There will be excursion to two of our cooperation partners, Danish firms that produce packaging for the food industry and retailing. Row of professional Architects and Designers from practice will participate in the Summer School with lectures, supervision and evaluation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The first part of the Summer School is about sketching and making models for new pasta design. As a starting point there is made use of the newest technologies for sketching and modelling. Regarding the sensory part and coherence between shape, texture and size there will be inputs from a pasta chef and there will as well be presentation about the historical pasta types. There will be worked with design of one Nordic pasta type / Northern Jutland pasta type. The second part is about working with new ideas for packaging for one chosen pasta prototype in combination with two chosen fish “to-go” products. This is done in collaboration with two professional cooks, two Danish packaging firms, a group of fish producers and some of the big tourist destinations in Northern Jutland, where the food and the new packaging types are to be tested. You are going to follow the development of the new fish “to-go” product and should together with the two packaging firms design and rethink the packaging of the fish “to-go”. One of the final products will be awarded at the Blip Festival at Platform 4 in Aalborg 17th-18th of September. |
SUBMISSION AND EXHIBITION At the end of the Summer School there will be an exhibition at Utzon Center showing the products designed at the Summer School. Each group has to hand in a model of both the pasta and the packaging, together with a number of sheets containing an essay and description of the final products. LECTURES AND SUPERVISION |
