84905 Product Design Honours Project Conceptualisation

Description

This subject draws from the research conducted in 84908 Integrated Product Design Honours Project Research and Development A to activate methodologies conducted through the conceptualisation of tangible designs for real-world application. As integrated product design practice increasingly operates beyond the confines of conventional manufacturing systems, it becomes the responsibility of the designer to innovate across multiple modes of practice to offer new experiences and more responsible product interventions. The subject requires abstraction and experimentation of research findings through a series of conceptualisations, led by prototyping methods to innovate and test novel interactive experiences, embodiments and materiality that challenge existing product design conventions. Concepts generated are to be suitably contextualised for realisation in Spring session.
