OVERVIEW

Disegno Industriale 2.2 is part of Laboratorio di Design 2. Sure enough, the last is composed by two different parts (with intermediate evaluation) strictly connected, due to provide basic design competences of nautical designer. Those design competences are related to existent nautical products and design principles of refitting and restoration.

Especially, the part Disegno Industriale 2.2 is composed by both theoretical part and practical design part about the assigned theme. It is complementary to the previous Disegno Industriale 2.1.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course explores issues related to the enhancement and preservation of historical nautical heritage through a design case study developed in collaboration with local conservation associations or shipyards. The ultimate goal is to develop an understanding of the design methodology essential for future designers, enabling them to manage the design of any nautical product in general, and the refitting or restoration of existing vessels. The course emphasises aligning the design process with the specific expectations of clients, shipyards, and the unique characteristics of each project.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

With the support of lectures and through the development of a complex design theme, students are expected to demonstrate personal sensitivity to the restoration and enhancement of Nautical Heritage, learning and autonomous reworking of design tools such as:

- nautical restoration process guidelines;

- historical research aimed at the project;

- analysis of the state of affairs;

- identification of restoration objectives;

- elaboration and drafting of graphics for an informed recovery project;

- filing of recovery interventions;

- ability to compare and work in groups or project teams.

PREREQUISITES

There are no specific requirements.

TEACHING METHODS

The module involves theoretical lectures that flank and guide practical/laboratory activities in which the student is spurred to the mode of active personal learning and group work. The activities are carried out in an intensive mode, so the planned hours are concentrated over about two weeks, following the needs arise to carry out field surveys and analysis.

The teaching is organized in varied and complementary activities, the main being:

-theoretical lectures and seminars;

-external visits and surveys;

- group activities (debates, brief, brainstorming, project reviews…);

-laboratory.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The module takes advantage of the theoretical notions anticipated during Industrial Design 2.1 and explores the methodological aspects of the nautical product recovery project and applies them to a specific case study.

The detailed contents are provided before the start of the semester on the aulaweb page dedicated to the module.

The aulaweb page is also the lecturer's weekly communication and update tool.

The module is devoted to the development of a theme every year different and geared toward the project of restoration (or refitting) of an existing boat.

The module involves the identification of a tangible case study through which to apply theories and methodologies introduced during the hours of frontal lectures explicated during the first (Industrial Design 2.1) and second semester (Industrial Design 2.2). The outline program, which is adaptable and modifiable from year to year depending on the selected case studies, includes the following steps for progressing and approaching the realization of a complete project, always accompanied by introductory theoretical lectures:

- case study analysis and historical research

- on-site inspection with metric survey and analysis of materials and construction techniques

- inspection with analysis of the state of the artifact

- critical reworking of data collected through technical drawing, filing and cad

- analysis and revision of the drawings

- conception of the recovery project for the case study

- revisions and any additional in-depth inspections

- realization of the executive project

Detailed content is provided before the start of the semester on the Aulaweb page dedicated to the course.

The Aulaweb is the communication tool used by the lecturer for weekly updates.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Oral examination. The exam consists of the delivery and evaluation of a final project and in the critical dissertation in relation to the theoretical concepts delivered during the semester.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Presentation and oral discussion of the final work taking into account the design process and continuity demonstrated during the module. The discussion and the materials presented are aimed at verifying the accuracy and completeness of the skills acquired regarding the design methodology and the restitution of the descriptive graphic and infographic works of the project itself.

The oral discussion completes the exam verifying the student’s awareness, the presentation skills and the topic knowledge.

Finally, since the module involves the awarding of Open Badges, the oral interview and the group activity carried out during the semester contribute to verifying the acquisition of the stated Soft Skills.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students with disabilities or learning disorders are allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the Delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities. Students are invited to contact the teacher of this course and copy the Delegate (https://unige.it/commissioni/comitatoperlinclusionedeglistudenticondisabilita.html).
