Design Project Concept (FSI-YE1)

Students will focus on design methods in the early stages of the design process, leading to the creation of thoughtful design concepts. Students will then be able to objectively select the most appropriate solution from the concepts created, which will become the main idea of the final design. Emphasis on this stage of the design process will create a solid foundation for the concept itself.
Ability to apply modern design methods to the design of the final solution.
Ability to identify significant problems and propose solutions.
Ability to critically evaluate a conceptual solution.
Ability to work independently or in a team.
Ability to present the achieved results in the form of their presentation.

Ability to solve the design of simple industrial products and knowledge of sketching techniques. Knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of spatial creation, artistic composition and implementation of three-dimensional models.
Knowledge of modeling software (e.g. Rhinoceros, 3ds Max) and graphics software (e.g. Adobe).

The course is designed to explore new, non-traditional product solutions with the goal of creating an original and well thought-out design. The course focuses on the analytical and conceptual part of the design process and emphasizes the creation of main ideas. The thematic content of the course is a conceptual solution of the design aspect of the product with a vision for the future, which will be implemented using design methods. The resulting design will take into account the current common technologies, as well as less common technologies with potential for the future. The output of the assignment is a drawing documentation, presentation and conceptual model of the proposed solution in an appropriate scale.
