PRODUCT DESIGN STUDIO

Cross-Pollination as an Attitude to Design

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course is aimed at students with an initial understanding and experience in Product Design with the intention to stimulate their knowledge and skills. In the course students will develop a short project geared towards creative thinking and exploring. The project will be developed in groups as a studio work, under the supervision of an established designer in an open chat to help the student understand which kind of process they need to bring the product to a final presentation.
The implementation of the student's design skills, stimulated in the studio, will be backed by a visits in and around, to studios, showrooms and factories. Guest lecturers will provide inspiration and knowledge to support the design process. Specific workshops focused on materials, history of design and biography of an object, will expose the students to different possible approaches.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The students will be divided in groups to help them to confront and capitalize each individual skill to each other. Groups will act as small studio teams in a constant open discussion using research, analysis, development and communication techniques. The final result will be presented with a model and a short story in digital format.
