One of the SOD master students in the Design for Democracy studio of the autumn 2018 went bravely to the task of mapping out Norway as a state and organization. The map spans from the top to far down to the bottom of the governing hierarchy. Though the map is far from complete it reveals some of the immense complexity of our society. Understanding a bit of this should be valuable for anybody who regards themselves as citizens of a democratic society. The print version of this map is 5x3 meters. Click the image to see a bigger version. We hope to find some resources to pick this up and work on with it. It is valuable work but it takes time. After all this map of biochemical pathways took over 30 years of refinement: >>>>>

@HOME in transition Encouraging asylum seekers towards more self-driven approaches to navigate the unknown they are surrounded with. Niloufar Gharavi and Melina Hozhabri This project is the story of tackling a common affliction today which brought 2 migrant girls from Iran to each other. They shared their backgrounds, hopes, pains and skills together, forming the project which was not only a master diploma, but a real life concern for them both. This diploma project is meant to be the first pilot of a co-development concept in transition (elaborated inside report) which happened in Norway at the Refstad Transit reception center in Oslo, during winter-spring, 2018.

Digging in the archive i found the old SOD picture book, a book that was never finished. It seems still worth being made accessible. It is a document of the early years of SOD. The book project was abandoned in 2010 for various reasons. Bear with the lack of refinement and language issues. The articles are written as project deliveries form the students. The concept was that the students received a layout and format for their final short reports from their projects. In that way much work was done for the book project. Despite this considerable work was needed to finalize it, one of the reasons why this stopped. Another reason is that the projects became increasingly content rich and needed longer reports. Looking back there where far more products than now. This is a shame because i think products deserve as much of a systemic consideration as other designs.
The cover and layout were done by Adrian Paulsen and Christoffer A. Lange.
