| //“Steering our Craft”// proposes a theory class revolving around the writing practice in design. Working both individually and as a group, we will develop and refine our academic writing practice through inputs, readings, in-class writing and peer feedback sessions. | //“Steering our Craft”// proposes a theory class revolving around the writing practice in design.

| The course is inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s //Steering the Craft// and her notion of writing as an inherently lonely practice that is nevertheless grounded in a community of peers. Through different perspectives on writing, we will intensify our awareness of our own process and continue to develop it. | Taking inspiration by Ursula K.

| In connection with the individual MA works, writing is understood as deeply entangled with design practice, becoming a tool for thinking, reflecting, and shaping the work. | In connection with the individual MA works, writing is understood as deeply entangled with design practice, becoming a tool for thinking, reflecting, and shaping the work. |
