Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
A BSc degree (Bachelor) in Architecture and Design or similar.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The aim of the course is to give an insight into a broad range
of issues in relation to the construction of product details
regarding production, assembly, durability, use, expression,
distribution and disposal/recycling as integrated in construction
and material choices of products or a product line. The students
learn to apply these principles by systematic and concurrent
inclusion of appropriate methods and system. The students get
insight into various product configurations with the use of both
traditional and new manufacturing processes and materials and learn
to create new combinations in an integrated process.
Students who complete the module:
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Must have knowledge of theory and practical solutions on
appropriate detailing in relation to a broad variety of materials
and constructions in general available from existing databases
- Must be able to account for and evaluate the typical and state
of the art principles for appropriate design of details in plastic,
metal and other relevant materials
- Must be able to account for and reflect on the general
principles for the exploration of critical aspects concerning the
design of the detail and the general construction layout in
relation to construction, production, assembly/disassembly issues
and use
Skills
- Must be able to use data bases, research and structured data
collection to get knowledge on smart detailing in relation to a
broad variety of materials and constructions
- Must be able to analyse typical and state of the art principles
for the construction of smart construction details in plastic,
metal and other relevant materials and communicate these in clear
form
- Must be able to use general principles for the exploration of
critical aspects concerning the design of the detail and the
general construction layout in relation to construction, production
and use
Competences
- Must be able to find and analyse critical aspects concerning
the construction and design of product details and their relation
to a wide range of product layouts and to integrate their findings
in a new product construction, where critical aspects on materials,
manufacturing, user experience and durability have been handled and
designed into an integrated product
