Learning outcomes |
Provide students with technical skills for building models that support the conceptualization, maturation, development and presentation of ideas and design solutions.
Deepening of the direct relationship with materials and technologies as a means of supporting the design process, conceptual materialization and the relationship with space, geometry and material culture.
Understand the underlying issues in the design of an object (formal expression, function and structure) and its development in a project.
Knowing how to combine the plastic expression of different materials with their structural constraints.

Syllabus |
The different types of models. Simulations, mock-ups, concept models, volume models, scale models, validation / test models, presentation models, functional models.
Relationship between the different situations / project phases and the application / choice of each layout method.
Discussion between the pros and cons of each technique.
Materials, tools and machine tools available to the designer for making models. Materials from the point of view of their structural capabilities and expressive poetics.
The different construction techniques. Preparation, planning, shaping, cutting, roughing, joining and finishing.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical-practical classes in which the theoretical component is supported by multimedia, bibliographic content and case studies and serves as a basis for the development of practical work. These exercises support the discussion and experimentation of the various techniques and construction processes of models, including in conjunction with UC Industrial Design 3.
Continuous assessment is individual based on the quality of the models developed and the domain of materials and technologies. The assessment reflects two dimensions: student participation and involvement in classes (20%) and the development of practical exercises (80%).
