Course content
Students of master's program can enroll in this course as in so-called second studio. Weeks 1 - 13 - Introduction to the course of the semester, the teacher's requirements, assignment of semester project. - Creating drawing sketches. - Creating spatial sketches. - Development of conceptual model. - Continuous input, consultations, corrections and submissions of seminar sub-tasks and semester project. - Presentation according to the teacher's requirements. Examples of topics assignment: electrical appliances, household items, bathroom equipment, office equipment etc. The task is based on the current offers of international and home designers' competitions. Meeting the conditions of competition, including the presentation, is mandatory, but the competition theme can be extended with additional teaching requirements. Possible assignments may be held by external businesses, assuming their design requirements are the same as MGDP-course requirements. Other assignments may arise directly as part of seminars with regard to the ongoing tasks. During the semester there are assigned 3-4 tasks; assignment deadlines and submission dates are determined according to the requirements of the competition and external customers. It expands the student's ability to communicate with manufacturers.
