Module: Module 1
(objectives)
The course intends to provide an experimental preparation in the Product Design sector. In line with the educational objectives of the course, the experimental focus will be aimed at acquiring design knowledge and skills capable of imagining and managing the development of a new product as a virtuous result between the designer's creative ability and the production potential. The design theme reflects on one of the most urgent requests that society, production, the economy and the environment are asking of the world of design: rethinking the use of materials in a more conscious and virtuous way in order to guarantee sustainable models of production and consumption (Sustainable Development Goal No. 12 of the United Nations) through circularity and resource efficiency. The Laboratory will be tackled according to a critical/systemic/semantic approach to develop a conscious design capacity where the convergence between function, form, usability of the products is validated by the most correct choice of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. The expected result is the development of a collection of products within the Furniture System, in which iconic products from the history of Design will be redesigned by virtue of the most modern and up-to-date technologies and production processes by virtue of a REDESIGN that considers new materials for imagining new interactions and behaviors.
