Learning outcomes

At the end of the module the student is able to use the basic analytical, critical and expressive tools for the management and interpretation of the industrial product design according to the guiding themes of the art of configuring in relation to technology. Through exercises on the founding elements of industrial design the student knows: • the dual aspects of building technology • the foundations of the art of configuring (notion of system, notion of sign as a unity of structure and image, notion of differences); • the basic elements of structural grammar and generative and transformational grammar; • the role of the user through notions of visual and haptic perception.

Course contents

The course aims to develop in the student a design method that can be applied to different project scales. Students will be required to develop the entire design process, from a first phase of observation and research, to the formulation of the concept, up to the realization of the project through study models, technical drawing and final models on 1:1 scale.

WORKSHOP

The workshop intends to offer students an integrative, intense and time-focused design experience to work alongside the institutional planning laboratory of the Degree Course. The activities will take place in the classroom and attendance is mandatory for all scheduled days.
