Learning Objectives

industrial design
The design surrounds and manages the daily life of everyone. It has multiple applications and interpretations. The goal that the course aims to the use of young contemporary space, not far from sustainability. The module is therefore proposed as a moment of reflection and study on space and its objects, in particular related to the student's life, to his student's work and its needs, all absolutely known situations the learner. To do this you will need to do some thinking and study behaviors and ways. The solutions to achieving a knowledge are given by lectures on the history of design and design moments. The history of design is essential because only through it is possible to identify and highlight the transformation and the impact that the discipline has undergone over the decades. The deepening of the key issues of design intended to highlight a very subjective path that will go into building design phase. Between the two moments will need interporne another in which the student will, made up and studied in its articulation, a card on a particularly important aspect of the design. They will also provide preliminary notions of technical drawing, especially compared with UNI regulations. It will be important in the design phase, to identify the connections between the object and its function aspect, going to define the relationship between the environmental system and technological system of the same. The student will provide refunds of analyzed objects and will structure a card. In a more advanced stage will prepare a draft, related to the theme of the workshop 4. The lectures and tabs on specific objects will offer a wide field of experimentation of innovative furniture projects in which tradition and innovation are well married. It will be important to highlight the identity of the place, its characters and its peculiarities that may become agile tools and context of the project, to highlight the identity of the object, the building of the territory.

Detailed Course Content

industrial design
... While in the past there were manually created products or only partially with mechanical work (ceramics, glass), intended for practical and utilitarian purposes, and provided with aesthetic qualities (tools, weapons, prehistoric tools, furnishings, etc.), And also many modular elements, partially and even fully standardized, only in our time - that is, after the advent of the industrial revolution - has given the production of objects, shapes, patterns, can be played in series, such as to fulfill, as well as to a practical-utilitarian function, also to a cosmetic. Of the rest of the same utilitarian and functional quotient it is not entirely necessary as an essential component of industrial design. (And it is, indeed, this, one of the most frequent blunders of those who still considers necessary the presence of a functional component to the industrially produced object basis "[1].

The form of Industrial Design aims to provide theoretical and practical knowledge concerning the industrial design and its history, in Italy and abroad, highlighting the cultural and historical context of each object and phenomenon. It also aims to identify the characteristics of the figure of the designer, prince of the governing role, and tools that, from time to time, you can use. This involves analyzing the products and their theories, motives and expressed potentials, innovations and materials. To this end, they will identify some key items of each period and will consist of cards.

The module also aims to follow the universal dictates and demands a global and local level of the industrial design, direct the innovation process and especially in a sustainable product. The tools to do this can only be given from past and present, from the history of design and its contemporary facets. The aim is to encourage culture addressed to the design to bring about a new concept, future, futuristic, contemporary space, of modern life, offering different configurations and different solutions for the same object. Available resources, materials, matter, can become interesting field of experimentation with a view to contemporary sustainability.
