Aims

Students have to create a complex design project, which will reflect the experience from their previous study of design. They will be familiarized with given theme and the correct definition of the correlation: human – design - product – environment. The work also emphasizes both graphic and 3D presentation of a project.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in workshop is controlled. Students have to be present in scheduled hours in the workshop, work on assigned projects and wait for consultation, unless a lecturer gives other individual plan. Students are obliged to inform the lecturer in advance about his/her working-place in the scheduled education time (studio, workshops, modelling room) - as absence is not excused without this information. The excuse of absence is possible only due serious reasons such as illness. Unexcused absence or the total absence greater than 50% (including excused absence) may jeopardise accepting a project.
