MAST302 - Diagram
Tin held the lecture/workshop Diagram at “MAST302 Planning the Master Thesis - Landscape Architecture”. The session aimed to expand students’ expressive tools by encouraging them to draw, communicate, and persuade beyond the conventions of traditional landscape architecture training. This workshop focuses mainly on the difference of conducting a written thesis or a design project - which brings with it different types of diagrams.
MAST302 introduces essential elements for planning and conducting a master’s thesis in landscape architecture. It covers the development of a researchable problem statement, literature and reference searches, methodological approaches—including design-specific and interview methods—and encourages both aesthetic and academic reflection. The main goal is to prepare a comprehensive thesis plan to guide students through their final semester. While the course primarily builds on existing knowledge and skills, it aims to enhance students' ability to independently structure and execute a 30 ECTS research or design project, formulate an innovative problem statement, and justify its relevance within the field.The course is led by associate professor Katinka Horgen Evensen (LA).
The outcome is a mix between those conducting a written thesis or a design project. Then there are those that looks into specific aspects of their thesis/project:
This Diagram lecture has been an ongoing exercise Tin has conducted for thousands of pupils at upper secondary schools (high schools) through tours with DKS, across multiple courses at university and as a service for researchers writing ERC applications at OsloMet.
