Advanced Materials in Design (FSI-YAM)

Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: doc. akad. soch. Ladislav Křenek, ArtD.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

Students will be acquainted with the overview and technologies of production of advanced materials, but especially with the potential benefit of their applications in industrial design. Students will be able to analyze material composition of products and work with tools for environmental impact assessment.

The student acquires:
- The knowledge of current and advanced materials.
- The ability of environmental impact analysis.
- The ability to identify the ecological aspects of design work.
