AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course delves into the issues related to the appreciation and protection of historical nautical heritage through a design case study developed in collaboration with protection associations or with shipyards present in the area. The final objective consists of obtaining awareness of a project methodology that the future designer must acquire in order to be able to control the design of any nautical product in general and the refitting or recovery of existing units in particular, configuring the design in response to specific requirements that characterize the expectations of the client, the work site and the product itself.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Every group of work produces several works to show the yacht or the cruise ship both for the exterior and the interior.

The designs follow up and solve problems of use destinations, typologies, size dimensions, weights, powerings, accomodations, materials, fittings, riggings, ergonomys, building proceedings, performance estimations, costs estimations, market analyses and etc.

Every working group has a 10 min. slot for a multimedia presentation with technical drawings and renderings, a vertical A1 size poster, a 60 seconds video-movie and a book with all the developing story of the work.

Any group incudes a CD-ROM containing what has been listed hereinabove, collected in a digital record that includes vectorial 3D files of the work.
