Writing a project brief at your own pace

Do you have an idea for a spatial practice project and need support with putting it down on paper and taking the following steps to realize it?
This your-pace course consists of a workbook with step-by-step writing invitations, including concrete questions and video recordings of the inputs that will support you in understanding the overall structure of your brief and guide you along the writing process. 
The online course contains input on three different approaches for writing down a project brief - the curatorial, the academic and the business approach. You will learn the differences between the three and how to structure your concrete project brief according to the field in which you are positioning yourself. You can follow the course at your own pace, and at the end, you will have a written project brief, which you can use further to apply for funding, a PhD position, or start concrete collaborations. 

This online course is for you if you

– are a professional in architecture, urban design, spatial practice and related fields
– have a concrete idea about a project (research or praxis) in this field
– wish to realize your project in the near future
– want to spend time at your own pace in writing

By the end of the course, you will

optional 1:1 feedback session with me

After finishing the course, I can give you productive and supportive feedback on your project brief in a 1:1 session. Together, we will look at your intention from the beginning of the process and finalize your project brief accordingly. The 1:1 session will be 1.5 - 2 hours in person via zoom and includes support in building a strategy for further use and working with your brief. It also contains preparational work from my side on your final draft that I will ask you to send me beforehand.
