Objects, Materials, Craft & Industrial Design¶

Expressive Command

What you will develop¶

Design an object that fits bodies, materials, manufacturing, maintenance, and use.

Before you begin¶

Recorded prerequisites:

• Perception, Attention & Affordance
• Form, Composition, Hierarchy & Constraint
• Drawing, Diagramming & Visual Reasoning

Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• form/function
• ergonomics
• tolerance
• material
• assembly
• repair
• lifecycle

Ergonomics & human dimensions¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Material/form relationship¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Assembly, repair & lifecycle¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Industrial form under manufacturing constraints¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Intended demonstration¶

Prototype + user trial + teardown critique

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.

Reading options¶

Assigned readings, where available, appear in the practice sequence above. These additional recommendations are not all required reading.

• The Double Diamond
• Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction
