Design Thinking and Product Design (German only)

Content

What is Design? How are Creativity and Innovation connected with Design? Which techniques and tools are available? We will discuss those questions throughout the whole semester with the help of theoretical models, methods and processes, as well as practical application alongside a fictional product development.

We will discuss the following topics:

  • Design as discipline
  • Design Thinking
  • Creativity techniques and creativity workshops
  • Design theory and „Design laws“
  • Linking of design with product development
  • Analyse and understand product design

Next to teaching the theory, methods and processes, the seminar includes if applicable inviting guest lecturers, as well as one or more excursions (for example to the “Neue Museum”).
