Product and Service Design

Educational objectives

The PEOPLE-CENTRED DESIGN STUDIO aims to transfer the critical-analytical and synthetic-design tools to investigate the broad theme of Design-Driven Innovation and develop a product/service proposal considering its degree of long-term sustainability. The skills and knowledge involved are transversal and heterogeneous and find their synthesis point in the field of Design for Social and Service Innovation. Operationally, the course intends to produce a contextualized experimental work hypothesis which aims at the design and management of an innovation that invests economic and social issues and which involves the entire cycle from design to production to consumption. The didactic phases and the related technical/experimental contributions are divided into: - analysis of the potential and limits of existing processes; - development of a hypothesis of sustainable innovation, specifically to the field of application; - economic, procedural and consumer verification of the developed innovation.
Two modules contribute to the Course: DESIGN FOR SERVICES AND SOCIAL INNOVATION (6 CFU ICAR/13), dedicated to the development of methodological skills in the field of Systemic Design with particular attention to production-design-consumption processes USER EXPERIENCE (6 CFU M -PSI /05), dedicated to the understanding and application of design tools useful for the development of sustainable socio-economic dynamics.

Educational objectives

The NEW CRAFT AND INDUSTRY DESIGN STUDIO aims to investigate new types of product in relation to production and consumption opportunities with particular attention to both the aesthetic-cultural aspects and the technical-mechanical ones. At the end of the course the student, investigating an object or a component, will have to: - know the different phases that lead to the morphology articulating the functional and material requirements, as well as the production systems; - develop knowledge related to the mechanical analysis of two-dimensional structures in order to optimize the shape and dimensioning of the object; - manage the simulation of the design path of an object of use, integrating digital tools and techniques for graphic and structural modeling.
Two modules contribute to this Course: DESIGN FOR NEW TYPOLOGIES (6CFU - ICAR/13) dedicated to developing approaches and design methods typical of Product Design which focus on the morphological dimension of artifacts. MECHANICAL TESTS MODELS AND PROTOTYPES (6CFU - ICAR/08) dedicated to transferring management skills of the basic problems of the mechanics of shapes.

Educational objectives

The INTERACTIVE DESIGN STUDIO aims to provide the critical tools to investigate and develop new product/service typologies considering as a characterizing factor the interaction with the user as well as the relationship between technology and typology. The skills and knowledge involved are transversal and heterogeneous and find their synthesis point in the field of Design for Interaction. Operationally, the course intends to produce a contextualized experimental work hypothesis which aims at the design and management of a product innovation based on the opportunities offered by technologies for interaction. The didactic phases and the related technical/experimental contributions are divided into: • analysis of the potential and limits of existing processes; • development of a technological innovation hypothesis, specifically to the field of application; • technological and typological verification of the innovation developed.
