What is the content
of the course?
Product design, theory and applied process design. In the first part of
the course there is a focus on process design theory and the areas of
design which are important and practical. Research on product economy and ecological value considering all steps of production, choice
of materials and its recyclability. Human interaction with products and
what can be improved in their usage. All contents will be summarised
in the final project, where students design and improve a gadget with
taught methods. Most of the time, the project is a product but it can
also be a service or an app included in the project.
Projects and goals
of the course
Projects can be very different (eg. Improving ecological value of
product, finding objects of rituals such as tea-time in England, teeth
brushing etc.). Exploring the process of the ritual and how the design
can improve or change the ritual.
