Rethinking Sandberg
The first generation of participants in the Master of Interior Architecture are given the chance to rethink the spatial and programmatic organization of this institute.
The Sandberg Institute will be the laboratory for testing new spatial configurations that enhance the production of knowledge and can handle new programme combinations that challenge the current structures.

Designer vs. Client:
The students will deal with the challenge of being both the designer and the user of their own proposals. It will be an interesting task for the students, but also for the coordinators and teachers, as they all play a direct role in the process. Therefore, they are automatically involved in the assignment and will be able to judge the consequences of the designs.

Reality vs. Experimentation:
The students will have to think conceptually and dare experimentation while being/living in the real site of their assignment. They will work on site. That is a rare and unique situation, in which the students fortunately (or unfortunately) will have to spend every day in the building of their assignment, surrounded by the people who use it as well. They also get the chance to observe each other and the way the others use their building.

Students:
Tom van Alst
