Course Description
This course builds on the design theory and practice covered in Industrial Design Studio 4: the underlying theme is designing for context. Students will respond to more open ended and complex, user centered design issues as set out in a Product Design brief that applies to a variety of design contexts. Special attention is given to the design of a product and its relationship to the space in which it operates. Context can also relate to interior design, and ideal products for this studio include small home accessories, such as candleholders, bowls, lamps and lighting design (which include simple electric fixtures). The project can include design of package, and assembly instructions (see examples of IKEA flat packed lamps in the market). Students engage in a design process that comprises a relative increase in the number of design variables, parameters and constraints in order to propose a creative design solution.
