Course Objectives The focus of 4th year design studio is on local and global “Design for The Real World” (Papanek, 1984). The aim is to implement projects and to supervise students to find creative solutions for problems through Product Design. The context of this design course consists of issues on social, environmental, physiological basic needs of human being and design solutions for production with minimum energy and consumption, supporting sustainability and responsible design are.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Student will be able to define and plan a design project/problem.
  • Student will be able to gather and evaluate information using proper research methods.
  • Student will be able to write a design brief.
  • Student will be able to develop a design concept and design according to his/her brief.
  • Student will be able to apply advanced visual and oral presentation techniques.
Course Description This course consists of two advanced product design projects, one as an individual and another as a team work. Both projects frame a PSS [Product-Service-System] model. Group project lays ground to advancing students' abilities to approaching a PSS model for their individual Graduation Project.
