Winter semester, Wednesdays at 15:00, room 402
The course provides an overview of selected product (and graphic) design concepts and notions from the late 19th century to the present. The course focuses on ontological issues of design, relationship between form and function, ornament, information visualization theory and ecological responsibility of design. Students will be introduced to the diverse sociological aspects of the field, both from the point of view of the designer and the user, including critical approaches in design or the influence of subcultures on mainstream design.
This course is designated for international students in both design and architecture. At least 5 students need to be registered for the course to open. (EXCEPTION for registered fee-paying students: if there are less than 5, the course will be taught in the form of individual consultations.)
