What an amazing first week of the CIID Summer School 2015!
Applied Service DesignTechniques, Future Materials Lab & Interaction Design Foundations: Tons of new skills learned and new friendships made. Keep up the great work, everyone!
Hands on mystery materials!
Participants of the Future Materials Lab were rehearsing rapid productization work based on a design brief (in this case, a material). In the professional design world, this is often considered ‘Phase 0’ work.
On the top of that, they were excercising combination of the following skills: Presentation Building and Public Speaking, Market Research, Brainstorming, Concept & Insight Generation, Industrial Design, Model Making & Prototyping as investigation, Documentation of Process, Photography
Future Materials Lab
What does the genesis of a new product look like? How do scientists, product designers, and researchers bring new materials out of the lab and into the market place?
The Future Materials Lab is inspired by the idea that design studios can serve as invention centers, much like Edison’s lab in New Jersey, or the Eames Studio in California. Through experimentation in these places, new, creative uses for materials were developed, and later ‘productized’ into inventions like the lightbulb and laminated plywood furniture.
Over the course of the week, students have developed a tacit familiarity with several futuristic materials and conducted rapid productization exercises where they proposed commercial product concepts to leverage the material’s features.
It’s conductive! It blinks! It’s awesome!
Future Materials Lab: Day 3.
This workshop is taught by the awesome Ted and Dean from NYC based product design and engineering consultancy Tomorrow Lab. The Future Materials Lab participants immerse into Rapid Prototyping, Product Invention, Material Science, Productization, Industrial Design and Creative Engineering.
And here we go again: Summer School 2015! Day 1 brought introductions, researching in the streets of Copenhagen, bananas, strange materials and sunshine. Welcome to CIID, Summer Schoolers <3
