Entry requirements N.A.
Learning outcomes - Deepening and integration of previous learning, namely regarding the design process.
- Know how to establish the relationships of operative, structural and ergonomic functionality in the design of a space with minimal habitability of industrial production.
- Understand the issues of ergonomic functionality and expressive qualities that design, and user objects establish between themselves at different scales and in a minimum space.
- Know how to combine the formal and symbolic plastic expression of the different materials with their structural and cultural constraints.
- Know how to apply notions of sustainability in relation to the life cycle of materials.
- Know how to apply notions of natural air conditioning in minimal closed spaces in different environmental contexts.
- Know how to operate the various stages of development of a design piece from the initial concept to its final prototype.
Syllabus - Deepening the entire design process in the development of a project of high complexity and scale.
- Functional operability of a minimum space: structure, ergonomics, mobility and habitability.
- Functional operability of objects in minimal space conditions: ergonomics and the relationship of the body with different objects and space scales.
- Plastic expression, emotional design, structure, materiality and scale relation: potential of structural and expressive qualities at different scales.
- Modulation, standardization, technologies and sustainability of the product life cycle.
- Principles of passive air conditioning and environmental thermal comfort in relation to local geographic conditions
- Application of a design methodology for an industrial design product hierarchized in several stages
