Design For Sport

  Offers the students a training program through which they can get an in depth understanding and develop the necessary skills to handle the mathematical management of three-dimensional virtual projects of industrial drawing though the use of Rhinocerus, a software published by McNeel.  Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  Objectives A first step towards finding out what communication in general and visual communication in particular is and the role it plays in the complex system of interactions, providing suggestions on which one can develop analytical curiosity and focus one’s creativity with the idea of enhancing the product’s communication value.   Contents The course is supposed to supply cultural elements and methods through which one can pay greater attention and focus on the codes governing the visual language. It should be considered as an introductory course for the various specialist investigation techniques and methods for communication analysis (syntax, semantics, pragmatics, semiotics, hermeneutics, rhetoric, epistemology, aesthetic, morphology, psychology, ethics)  ins a search for suggestions and actual rules by which one can communicate effectively with signs and colours, improve the understanding of the “visual text” connected to communication products, address the issue of form and content and the relationship between information technology and communication; how to “think” communication effectively. At the end of the course the student must carry out research on a specific theme. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  Acquiring ease and fluency in fast three-dimensional and two-dimensional representation of objects/environments using a variety of graphic techniques. Anatomical/dimensional study of the man-object relationship. Experimentation with a variety of techniques. Lay out of the concepts developed and the first steps towards a professional presentation.

  The course sets out to provide the students with the rudiments of interdisciplinary knowledge in order for them to be able to analyse, asses and develop simple and complex systems bearing in mind the actual characteristics of the man/athlete and his/her physical and mental ability and limitations, so that they are able to design objects that can fulfil ergonomic requirements and improve the performance and the comfort of athletes in extreme conditions.

The course aims to take a close look at the most effective management techniques and develop complete projects through an understanding of the basic marketing principles acquired Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  Objectives The stimulation, through the analysis of objects that are in any case present in everyone’s life experience, of the curiosity and consequently the understanding of how these objects have been produced, and what constraints the specific physical, morphological, chemical characteristics of the materials and the technologies involved in their transformation actually impose on production processes.   Contents  The course relies on three teaching tools: -          Classroom analysis of material samples and/or currently used industrial products -          A closer look at some of the issues raised during the analysis course through using ppt slides, part of which will be made available to students via the school server. -          Experimental practice exercises in research and analysis that the students will have to comment on and then return on ppt slides to be projected in the classroom.

  The course provides students with an understanding of the working techniques and materials best suited for the production of studio and presentation models and working prototypes for the design projects that will be proposed during the course of the year.   Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

This course offers students the opportunity to explore a tool that can back up traditional representation techniques. The exploration of the potential and the aspects that most accurately satisfy the requirements of a designer. Finally provide students with the opportunity to approach an alternative form of expression Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  Provides the students with a comprehensive and complete overview for the creation of good quality rendering starting from a three-dimensional model developed with the three-dimensional modelling software studied during the years. The software chosen for the rendering is 3DStudio Max. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  The course intends to investigate the motivations and emotions that lie at the core of extreme sports. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  The course will develop a brief presented by the client, with the idea of enhancing the company vision and suggesting new products and innovative sectors the company might branch out into. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  The course provides specific consultation to support the development of the Thesis project, putting the students in touch with specialists in the areas of reference who will offer their services effectively as consultants. Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  The first master course will be focusing on emotions, on understanding, knowing and recreating events that can stimulate the users’ adrenaline. We will then move on to the development of objects capable of triggering emotions and involving people by accessing individual’s “extreme” side. The training process will develop through three main steps that will lead to a final presentation where the students, by means of descriptive panels and three-dimensional models, will illustrate their own project idea.

The second course will be centred around athletes and therefore the actual targets of all extreme sport design. The confrontation with those who actually practice a high risk sport can help to develop “customised” products that can solve actual problems or satisfy latent needs Teacher: Information about teaching staff available contact

  The third workshop, the last before engaging in the thesis project concerns materials and equipment. During this project the students will concentrate on the technical and performance specifications of objects that must add the strength, protect and stimulate the athletes.
