Learning outcomes |
Mastery of User-Centered-Design (UCD) methodologies to support the ergonomic analysis of products and interaction
situations in real context with clothing and fashion products or props. Students will be able to recognize the main work
steps and instruments used by Ergonomics in Design, being able to act as Fashion Designers in multidisciplinary
projects focused on real world, target audience needs and / or usability evaluation of fashion and clothing products.
The main objective is to enable students to identify, understand and interfere in all dimensions of comfort (physical,
synesthetic, psychological, social and cultural) in fashion and clothing products.. In partnership with the Fashion Design course (16420), students will develop joint projects, considering various system constraints (client, market, production, raw materials, and user).

Syllabus |
This UC is divided into 2 blocks, a theoretical block where the main themes of ErgoDesign are introduced and
discussed and the importance of user knowledge in the Fashion and Clothing project, and a second block dedicated to
the practical application of this knowledge in Project 2, in partnership with the UC of Clothing Design. In each block
there are evaluations that can be individual theoretical evaluations (oral or written), group work (TG) or individual work
(IT) and divided by the type of presentation that can be theoretical (T); theoretical-practical (TP) or practical (P).
Delivery of the final individual report and descriptive report in partnership with Project II of Garment Design Credit Unit.
