WUP | PD 23/24 | Model making module

WUP – Product Design
The aim of this varied and intense semester is to open the students to the vast and multi-faceted field of three-dimensional design. This semester will initiate a process of professional individual learning and prepare the students for the project-based semester work as practiced in the faculties study model. The course aims as well at forming a healthy habitus as a (future to be) professional designer while at the same time, founding of a solid and wide base for the further and more profound studies in the field.

Part 2 -Ways of Doing: Model Making
‘Hands on’ tools of model making and variation creation

This is a series of manual model making workshops dealing with diverse aspects: the concept and state of mind of model making itself, variation making, proportions, three-dimensional orientation and manipulation, transformation from 2d to 3d, tolerance and accuracies, learning to work and ‘feel’ different materials, scales and many more. This part includes 3-5 assignments which are partly linked to each other and are as well loosely connected to the semester theme of ’Tools for Food’. The techniques learned and practiced would naturally be used to conclude the main project.
