Learning outcomes Deepen the skills and methodologies of the industrial designer.
Adapt to increasingly complex product typologies.
Interpret a context, structure a problem, develop a concept, and consider constraints and limitations.
Make use of raised hand drawing and three-dimensional modelling, technical representation, models, and prototypes a experimental tools.
Equate the relationship between the body and the space or object considering ergonomic factors, experience, the emotional value of the product, and the preview of its useful life cycle.
Consider collaborative processes within the scope of the design methodology and product validation.
Get to know authors, brands, and industries, as well as consider the historical evolution of objects.
Assimilate technical knowledge and manufacturing processes that enable the execution of the project.
Communicate professionally and substantiate the projects, using a vocabulary discourse appropriate to the area.
Syllabus Modules:
Methodologies applicable to Industrial Design and Ethics
Design in context, synchronous and diachronic analysis
Artisanal/Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Strategies for Sustainability
The Value of Collaborative Practices in the design process
Interaction, experience, memory, emotion
Project:
Development of project(s) in partnership with companies or industries
Definition, or Analysis of briefing
Research that consists of the analysis of study cases concerning brands, designers, products, or services
Conceptualization
Product Development considering the constraints arising from the materials and the production process: Experimentation through sketches, models, and intermediate prototypes, technical drawings, 3D modeling
Detailing for the study of equipment/construction/color/finishes solutions
Interim moments of presentation and debate
Final communication: Development of technical drawings, prototypes, descriptive memory, video, layout, flyer
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The tolerance of entry into the class is 15 minutes. The evaluation is continuous and works delivered after the deadline are not accepted. If student workers or other students under a special regime prove that they are unable to attend class hours, they are obliged to give the prior combination of alternative time to present the work during the semester. The evaluation will consist of Attendance - 10%, Project methodology - 16%, 1st Project (Research / Development of Concepts - 10%, Preliminary proposal - 10%, Final proposal - 17%), 2nd Project (Research / Development of Concepts - 10%, Preliminary proposal - 10%, Final proposal - 17%). The exam consists of the communication of the project developed throughout the semester (85%) and a test (15%), and the student must have obtained a minimum grade of 8 points.
