The Summer Design Office
A Summer Design Office generally consists of 4-8 students who work on short, concept-oriented assignments, primarily for small companies. Assignments can also be for municipalities; for example, how a specific location can be made more attractive. The aim is to bring about creative settings that arise when different types of competencies “meet”. Thus, applicants should be prepared to work in groups, learn from others and help clients gain an increased understanding of what design work is and how it can create advantage.
Each office has a local project manager and an experienced designer who functions as support. Work lasts for seven weeks - three weeks in June and four weeks in August. Remuneration for the entire period amounts to SEK 25,000 and includes free housing. Participants will receive a certificate of employment upon each completed assignment.
