Course overview
Industrial Design Studio 1 introduces students to fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge in industrial design. Through hands-on projects, students explore two and three-dimensional form, shape, and design elements and principles. They develop skills in conceptualising, visualising, communicating, and crafting design ideas while considering the broader responsibilities of industrial designers in contemporary practice. The course aligns with program goals by integrating knowledge, fostering problem-solving skills, and promoting ethical awareness.
