TYPE OF ACTIVITY: PhD Course

Course description
The course introduces PhD students to the problem of the literature review. Seen by many as essential to the positioning of the PhD, the literature review must be correctly constructed so as to a) outline the state of the art in the field and b) lead up to the formulation of the research question. The literature review requires the student must handle a large amount of data and also address the nature of its content. This presents a number of challenges to do with the structuring of knowledge but also to take a creative approach so that it is more than a digest of articles and books.

The process is also one requiring an agile approach to information and theory since the lengthy immersion in the literature will doubtless challenge some of the assumptions upon which the PhD application is based. Students therefore need to take a critical approach not only to the new material they encounter but also to their own initial work. Benefits of a good literature review are that it adds to the final output of the PhD, helps formulate the research question and can be the basis of a peer-reviewed publication.
Participants in the course should have an up-to-date literature list available in hard copy as well as digital copy for the course. The reading material is an example of a literature review methodology.

Course instructor: Richard Herriott

Biography of course instructor
Richard Herriott is Associate Professor of Industrial Design at Design School Kolding. He currently researches design processes and methods in Universal Design. He also writes and teaches about research methodology, and design theory (aesthetics and research design). Richard Herriott has worked with the concept of Inclusive Design in his PhD project, which is a method that originated in product design. His PhD project examined this in relation to public transport, where the methods and intentions of inclusive design are applicable but where there are different design conditions. The PhD project was completed in 2014 at the Aarhus School of Architecture. Richard Herriott is author of The Aesthetics of Industrial Design (Routledge, 2022). His current research focus is Universal Design, supported by the Bevica Foundation.

Gennem de seneste to årtier er der sket en drejning i forskningen og forvaltningen af den arkitektoniske kulturarv. Kulturarvsbegrebet er blevet udvidet og der stilles spørgsmål ved, hvordan vi forstår kulturarv, og hvordan den skal varetages. Denne vending, der inden for kulturarvsteori er blevet karakteriseret som et paradigmeskifte under betegnelsen ’New Heritage’, har medført flere nye konventioner og udfordrer i dag forvaltningsinstitutioner, arkitektonisk praksis og byudvikling, der indeholder eller arbejder med arkitektonisk kulturarv. Samtidig udvides krydsfeltet mellem en praksisbaseret forskning og en mere forskningsbaseret faglighed i praksis.

Dette kursus er en introduktion til arkitektonisk kulturarv og helhedstænkning med fokus på et praksisnært og aktualiserende forskningsfelt. Hvor står forskningen i dag? Og hvordan kan der arbejdes med fagfeltet i både forskning og tilknytning til praksis?

Målgruppe

Kurset er målrettet forskere og ph.d.-studerende, men er også åben for interesserede, der arbejder med fagfeltet arkitektonisk kulturarv i relation til kulturmiljøer, byudvikling og transformation i praksis.

Adgangskravet er en relevant kandidatuddannelse.

Kurset har plads til 18 deltagere. Heraf skal minimum 9 være ph.d.-studerende. For ikke-ph.d.-studerende koster kurset 8000 kr.

Omfang og ECTS

Kurset omfatter to kursusdage, den 1. og 2. juni 2023, inkl. ekskursion eftermiddag/aften om torsdagen.

Hertil to dages forberedelse (1 ECTS-point).

I relation til kurset kan der som tilvalg afleveres en 8-10 siders opgave indenfor emnet (1,5 ECTS-point).
