Learning outcomes |
Development of project capabilities in industrial design, notably in the development of objects of medium and small to medium scale complexity.
Mastery of the design process phases worked in the discipline: research, concept development, moodboard, drawing/sketches, 2D technical design, 3D modeling, rendering, mapping/prototyping and presentation (storytelling).
Demonstration of observation, analysis, synthesis, critical spirit and debate capabilities through in-depth product collection.
Deepening the adequacy of theoretical and technical knowledge fundamental to the implementation of the project.
Ability for practical application of knowledge individually and as a team.
Coherence and balance in the articulation between creative and rational thinking: binomial form-function.
Awareness for the argumentation and communication of the developed product: storytelling.
Development of individual and teamwork capacity: multitasking.

Syllabus |
Development of two projects of medium complexity at hand scale, with technical and conceptual diversity.
Awareness of the importance of the design process phases in the development of a product.
Introduction of briefing and analysis of examples of related products and authors. Discussion of the theme: creation, matter and processes. The Design Process. Product systems. Formal Coherence in Design.
Research: Collection of information on existing products, benchmarking, brands, designers and reference products; Summary, conclusions of research, product definition and work strategy.
Concept: Definition of concept (storytelling). Moodboard. Quick sketch of product alternatives, selection of alternatives/versions to explore.
Product development: product design and detail sketches. 3D modeling, final surrenders, technical design. Manual and/or digital packing of finished volumes. Final presentation of the project (the Storytelling).

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Practical classes with individual accompaniment that seek to strengthen capabilities in the area of product design individually and in groups.
Execution of exercises simultaneously, using the theory discussed, technological tools appropriate to each phase of work and workshops. Knowledge sharing, presentation of reference examples and debate on thought, functionality, society, communication, sustainability, among other fundamental aspects of the project.
The evaluation is continuous and reflects the quality, balance, adequacy, coherence and consistency of the project, as well as the commitment, attendance and punctuality of the student. In each delivery the evaluation corresponds to the total performance up to the respective phase and not only to the material delivered.
All deliveries are mandatory on the set date. Failure of any delivery is eliminatory.
Evaluation P1 (45%), Evaluation P2 (45%), Continuous Evaluation (10%).
UC without exam or possibility of improvement.
