Individual project and discussion, onsite or remote didactic dialogue.

Knowledge of basic concepts of design; association of relationships between form, function and construction of objects; knowledge of basic industrial technologies; knowledge of technical drawing; three-dimensional modeling skills; successful completion of the second year;

The purpose of the class is to deepen the students' experience in designing objects. In the course, isolated skills known from previous years are consolidated through training and combined into an integral process called design design. These skills include sculpting form, structural and technological design, designing function, understanding market, social and economic conditions.

The instructor's interest profile is not only related to his professional experience. Apart from designing for public space, the studio has carried out many projects related to social design (projects for the 3rd world, for the disabled, for the excluded) and related to education in its broadest sense. Learning the basic skill of designing products for industry is willingly expanded by the ability to organize design and production projects based on craft or the designer's own production activity. Often these projects are of a startup nature and are done with an eye to their own economic future. Special attention is paid to choosing the right technological and material solutions with sustainability and a closed loop economy in mind. The presenter makes sure that the ecological aspect of design is present in all projects, regardless of the underlying theme. Other ever-present aspects include the issue of conducting effective professional practice and the ethical dimension of the design profession. All projects seek, to a greater or lesser extent, better patterns of life. The search for alternative models of existence, generated by a critical attitude to reality, happens to be the basic objective of the most interesting projects.

Two project themes are pursued in semesters V, VI and VII:

1.Extended research topic - defined in an open way, allowing free interpretation of the problem. The realization of this topic is dependent on the student's interests, related to their own concept of shaping the design experience. There is considerable freedom in choosing the area of design, with an emphasis on the design of: everyday objects, furniture, elements of public space equipment, toys, educational objects, equipment for the disabled, vehicles, etc. The method of presentation of the project is determined individually, depending on its specificity.

2.Simpler design task - defining concretely both the conditions and subject of the project. The task aims to explore different applications of a specific material or technology. The assignment specifies the same requirements for the presentation of the project with a high proportion of modelling work in the target material.

Evaluation of the artistic and technical level of the design solution; evaluation of the degree of innovation of the design solution; evaluation of the quality of the project presentation, which consists of a graphical representation of the concept on boards, model making and a lecture combined with a multimedia presentation; evaluation of the degree of involvement in the project and the ability to effectively translate the indications and guidelines obtained in the course of training as a result of discussions and didactic dialogue.

Execution of the project in accordance with the accepted assumptions. Presentation before the Faculty Committee should include: charts presenting the solution, scale models or prototypes (depending on the topic), design documentation in the form of sketches, visualization and models, and a multimedia presentation showing the assumptions, design process and the final solution.
