课程名称：设计：社会中工件的创作 课程概述：该课程旨在提升您的设计能力，结合理论与实践，以提高设计表现。通过讲座和阅读材料，您将学习设计作为一种人类活动的基本概念。每周的设计挑战将测试您运用这些理念解决实际问题的能力。课程内容覆盖广泛，涉及建筑、图形、服务、服装、工程产品等各个设计领域。课程强调基本的设计过程：定义、探索、选择和完善。学生需结合自身在工程、家具、时尚、建筑或产品等领域的兴趣和专长参与课程。以往课程中，参与者大约一半为新手，另一半具备专业设计经验，两个群体均能从中获益。所有项目工作均由同学互评，您也将担任评审，这一格式让您能够观察到有趣的项目，并获得对自己项目的有用反馈。 课程大纲： - 第1周：设计导论 介绍设计过程以及用户需求在良好设计中扮演的关键角色，您将开始识别问题差距，并提交反馈。 - 第2周：客户需求与绘图解决方案 学习识别主要客户需求和为产品设计绘图的基本原则，通过访谈潜在客户，列出至少30个用户需求。 - 第3周：设计概念 从定义问题到设计解决方案，您将创造10个设计概念并进行同伴评审。 - 第4周：概念选择与原型制作 理解选择过程，学会评估设计概念并进行原型制作，从而开始构建自己的原型并提交审核。 - 第5周：美学 探索设计美学，学习如何提升原型的美观性，使其更具吸引力。 - 第6周：最终项目提交 提交您的最终项目并评估同伴的作品，从反馈中获得可用于后续改进的建议。 通过该课程，您将掌握设计的基本过程，并能够在实际项目中运用所学，以便在日后的设计工作中继续发展和深化。
Name:Week #1: Introduction to Design
Description:This module was designed to introduce you to the design process and to reinforce the critical role that user needs play in good design. You'll learn that design is conceiving and giving form to artifacts that solve problems, and also how to recognize and identify a gap in a problem. You'll explore what defines what users need, as well as ways to use those needs toward product design. By the end of this module, you will have begun your own design process by identifying 10 problem gaps and submitting them for feedback from your peers. You will also do a "5 Whys" exercise to help you determine the best design problem for you to solve in your final design project.
Name:Week #2: Customer Needs and Drawing Solutions
Description:In this module, you'll deliver your customer needs and learn the basic principles of drawing for product design: a necessary skill for any designer. The module begins with another peer review, this time on customer needs. This assignment requires you to conduct interviews with potential customers, and to come up with a list of at least 30 user needs. Given the time-intensive nature of this assignment, we suggest you begin it as soon as possible. As you conduct your interviews and begin your list of user needs, you can start watching the drawing videos, which will guide you through the processes of presenting your design in a clear, easily accessible format. By the end of this module, you'll be able to identify the main customer needs your design will address, and also be able to present your design as a drawing which employs the best practices of drawing for design.
Name:Week #3: Design Concepts
Description:The goal of this module is to move from defining the problem to designing a solution. You'll begin by learning about the exploration phase, and you will exit this phase with a number of design concepts for peer review. You'll also learn how to decompose a design to evaluate its overall function, and essential process in creating good design essential to the life of your design. Finally, you'll learn how to critically examine past design artifacts to inform your current concepts so that you can sensibly differentiate your product. By the end of this module, you'll have created 10 solid design concepts, and you will have received feedback on those concepts so that you can move to the next phase of the design process: prototyping.
Name:Week #4: Concept Selection and Prototyping
Description:This module was created to help you understand the selection process so that you can choose one design for prototyping. You'll learn key techniques for evaluating your design concepts, including the selection matrix, and the scoring matrix. And once you've selected some designs, you will also learn the uses and value of prototyping. You'll explore how prototypes are used to answer questions, to communicate and to distinguish milestones in the design process, and you will also work through the prototyping process so you can begin building your own, which you will submit for peer review. By the end of this module, you'll have selected one or more design concepts for prototyping, built prototypes, and received feedback on them from your peers. You'll also get to see some of your peers' designs as well.
Name:Week #5: Aesthetics
Description:Now that you’ve identified what concept you want to explore, this module will explore the aesthetics of design so that you can refine your prototypes to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. You'll learn how aesthetics are used in design, and how they motivate reactions toward artifacts overall using a real-world example. You'll also learn how you can apply these aesthetic principles to your own prototype, so that you can make your prototype more appealing and pleasing to potential customers. By the end of this module, you'll be prepared to implement aesthetic changes to your existing prototype so that you can be ready to submit your final design project for review in the following module.
Name:Week #6: Final Project Submission
Description:In this module, you will submit your final project for review. You'll then evaluate the work of five (5) of your peers and receive feedback which you can use for the next iteration of your design. By the end of this module, you will have created a reasonable prototype, and received critical feedback on how to redesign your prototype so that you know which directions to purse should you continue working on this project after the conclusion of this course.
This is a course aimed at making you a better designer. The course marries theory and practice, as both are valuable in improving design performance. Lectures and readings will lay out the fundamental concepts that underpin design as a human activity. Weekly design challenges test your ability to apply those ideas to solve real problems. The course is deliberately broad - spanning all domains of design, including architecture, graphics, services, apparel, engineered goods, and products. The emphasis of the course is the basic design process: define, explore, select, and refine. You, the student, bring to the course your particular interests and expertise related to, for instance, engineering, furniture, fashion, architecture, or products. In prior sessions of the course about half of the participants were novices and about half had prior professional design expertise. Both groups seem to benefit substantially from the course. All project work is evaluated by your peers -- and indeed, you will also be a peer reviewer. This format allows you to see an interesting collection of projects while getting useful feedback on your own project.
