Aesthetic research institute

Centre for Design Studies serves as a hub for research into design across Kristiania and beyond. We are interested in exploring all aspects of design, including its results, methods, theory, culture and consequences.

Research spans geographies and temporalities, looking not only at how design has shaped our history and present, both nationally and internationally but also at how it may affect possible futures. Adopting a cross-disciplinary understanding of design we focus on tangible objects of visual and material culture as well on systems and interactions.
