Foundations of product design, three dimensional design, design as problem solving method and as a creative activity. Experimental material exercises on volume, texture, and interactions. Building a product by using different materials and mediums. The application of acquired theoretical and practical knowledge to a term project focusing on designing a product for the changing home environments and alternative lives.
This course aims to:
- extend student’s knowledge about the fundamentals of object design
- help them acquire the technical skills needed for well composed three dimensional designs, as well as experimental skills for testing various materials and media
- improve their abilities on creative problem solving and speculative thinking
- encourage them to engage in steps of a design process (ideation, prototyping etc.)
- encourage them to critically evaluate design process and outcomes
- give them an opportunity to work on a real design problem
At the end of the course, the students will learn to:
- create properly composed, well-balanced three-dimensional designs using various materials and different techniques,
- practice and learn the dynamics of 3D space-design relationship and scale,
- acquire a basic knowledge of design terminology to express their ideas verbally,
- develop experimental skills,
- being able to respond professionally to the requirements of a design brief and feedbacks during the design process.
