designing experience with physical objects
(Product Design Basics)
Exercises
Support
Room: Seminarraum ZT 5.K01
In this course, we will explore how the choices of form and material affect our senses and interactions. Perceptual approaches to design consider form as something that affords a sensory-motor experience. We combine such approaches with traditional product design methods such as sketching of object's geometrical form and constructing physical prototypes. We use simple materials such as paper to explore the potential of the three-dimensional forms. You will learn how to study and to design physical objects so that they trigger a sensory experience.
In addition to attendance and active contribution for the duration of the course, students are assessed based on the following deliverables at the end of the course:
Exercise "light as matter":
presentation of the concept and prototype
Under "Project Documentation" you'll find guidelines for naming of folders and files.
As you are working in teams make sure that the presentation of "light as matter" is in your personal folders.
