Description

The goal of this course is to concentrate on the combination of aesthetical (form) and practical (functional and technical) implementation of design projects, design being the embodiment of applied art & engineering combined. The students will be encouraged to work in small groups in a studio style atmosphere alternating between creative sessions, tutor guidance, peer reviews, presentations, design critiques, prototyping and assessments.

Learning Outcomes

1. Students will practice & apply their sketching, illustration and 3D CAD modelling
within the design, development and presentation of design projects.
2. Students will become familiar with designing a product according to specific styles,
corporate identities and brand values.
3. Students will be introduced to the basic principles of ergonomics and discover where
comfort and ergonomics lie (folding chairs case study).
4. Students will put into practise their knowledge of production processes and
materials in the ideation of creative redesign solutions that are native to the
processes proposed.
5. Students will familiarise themselves with the basic planar linkage mechanisms
present in folding chairs, recognising similarities and experimenting with variations.
6. Students will develop sketch and proof of concept models as part of the product
development process, culminating in full / scaled prototypes.
7. Students will be introduced to static structural design & force flow visualization and
perform analysis demonstrating structural design validation, geometric, and material
selection.
