Course detail
Workshop - Experimental Design
FSI-YED-AAcad. year: 2018/2019
On the basis of the knowledge of theoretical, designer, scientific and technical disciplines, the course deals with the design process of an industrial piece of work in unconventional contexts. The focus of the course is a design process of a general problematic with a certain vision to the future, rather than a specific design solutions of a concrete product. For example: the measurement of time in a public space, a bathroom of the future, wind energy, etc. Tasks are processed more freely, without direct link to the current technological options with prerequisite for the development of technology in the near and distant future, but always with respect for the fundamental laws of physics. They develop invention, vision and original approach when searching for a new form, function and content of then designed piece of work through experimental approach.
The course has been upgraded with the support of the OPVK project. "The Studio digital sculpture and new media project", reg. No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0278, is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the statebudget of the Czech Republic
