* TMR was an interdisciplinary studygroup for students attending the last two of their five years of studies at DKDS. ‘The Thought, the Material and the Room’ was initiated in order to introduce conceptual and contextual thinking into the working proces. This way of working is now applied throughout the whole system and TMR is no longer necessary.
