Objectives of the Course This course deals with design problems at different scales with an
interdisciplinary approach. It focuses not only on the design process, but also
on the technical details and implementation processes. The aim of the course
is to contribute to the implementation of the projects and solution proposals to
be developed through various collaborations and to realize universityindustry/
public institutions/NGO cooperation in possible conditions and
scales.
Course Content Discussing the relations of design elements with its context (urban,
architectural, industrial/product scale).
Understanding interdisciplinary study during a design process.
Analyzing the behaviors of different materials and production techniques of a
design.
Making experience through learning by doing.
Course Methods and Techniques For the delivery of this module, a blend of lecture and design studio session will be used.
Elements of this module will require you to work as part of a team - in particular, as part of the ‘Discovery’ phase of the module. Within this phase you will be required to work as a team to identify and collate appropriate secondary sources of information for your chosen design brief.
While a significant proportion of this module will require you to work independently, all students are strongly encouraged to collaborate with their peers.
