Course detail
Workshop - Spatial Design Studies
FSI-YZ2 Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
The subject it deals with introduction to industrial design from the perspective of building volume in space. Practical workshops on general topics are an introduction to the work on individual assignments. 3D studies emphasize the relationships inside and outside 3D objects (importance of content and form, importance of proportional relationship, connection of the whole and detail), plaster, polystyrene sheets, clay, hard PVD and other materials are used for modelling.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The subject allows students developing knowledge needed for creation and analysis of 3D objects. Deepening the experience with basic techniques, equipment and habits for creating 3D studies from basic materials (clay, plaster, polystyrene sheets, hard PVC).
Prerequisites
Drawing of geometric bodies in perspective is a prerequisite. Experience with designing composition studies including 3D models and ability to work with basic materials (clay, plasticine). Orientation in art and design history is important.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The subject is taught in the form of seminars, which are practically focused on realization of physical models with individual consultations.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance in lessons, meeting assigned projects deadlines, oral presentation of projects.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is F "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.
Aims
The aim of the subject is to get students acquainted with possibilities of content understanding of a topic as a basis of industrial design in the form of workshops. The activities are based on 3D studies focusing mainly of shape and its meaning.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
