Industrial Design
From Conceptual Ideation to Tangible Form
Master the complete studio pipeline of physical product creation. This track delivers advanced instruction in digital modeling, additive manufacturing, and precision hand craftsmanship.
6 Master Projects: Explore personal identity, sustainable mobility, game systems, ergonomic handheld devices, modular spatial structures, and biomimetic robotics.
Core Competencies & Technical Skills:
-
Translate digital geometry into physical prototypes using advanced CAD modeling and additive manufacturing.
-
Integrate 3D-printed components with refined traditional materials and functional mechanical linkages.
-
Calculate exact tolerances for multi-part assemblies, snap-fit enclosures, and dynamic kinetic joints.
-
Synthesize principles of human ergonomics, biomimicry, sustainable materiality, and interactive systems.
Architecture Design
Space, Structure, and Spatial Form
Immerse yourself in the principles of spatial logic, structural mechanics, and advanced architectural representation. Students master 2D drafting standards, digital fabrication, and mixed-media craftsmanship to translate abstract concepts into physical models.
6 Master Projects: Investigate ancient labyrinths, extreme-climate habitats, infinity concepts, spatial cartography, structural archways, and atmospheric lighting studies.
Core Competencies & Technical Skills:
​
-
Master architectural drafting, vector cartography, and high-impact 2D design sheet composition.
-
Translate complex spatial logic into physical scale models using additive fabrication and mixed-media techniques.
-
Analyze structural integrity, spatial flow, atmospheric light interplay, and climate-responsive design.
-
Refine model finishing techniques, including precision hand painting, surface texturing, and exhibition-level presentation.
Interaction Design (UX/UI)
Human-Centered Systems & Interface Architecture
Master the art of crafting intuitive digital ecosystems and interactive hardware-software prototypes. This track focuses on translating complex human needs into sophisticated, high-performance product architectures inspired by industry benchmarks like Apple and Tesla.
