The relationship between aesthetics, ergonomics, technology and businees is emphasised within a industrial design context. Relevant processes, methods and reflection over the designers' way of thinking are presented in lectures.
Learning outcome
The objective of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of systems thinking and industrial design within a learning environment where methods and techniques will be applied within a framework of a complete designprocess. Interaction between user functions, technical functions and aesthetics will be emphasized.
