EUROPEAN INTERACTIVE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDIO (EINSTUDIO)

  • Reference: 2021-1-TR01-KA220-HED-000030439
  • Principal investigator: Prof. H. Güçlü Yavuzcan (University of Gazi)
  • Research Centers: University of Gazi (Turquey), University of Beira (Portugal), University of Alicante (Spain)
  • Duration: December 1st, 2021 – June 1st, 2024
  • Financial Entity: TR01 - THE CENTRE FOR EUROPEAN UNION EDUCATION AND YOUTH PROGRAMMES (KA220-HED - Cooperation partnerships in higher education)
  • Funding: Total: 273.450 €

The main objective of this project is to create of a European online virtual and blended (hybrid) industrial design studio culture considering and integrating different technological and pedagogical aspects that would correspond with the outcomes of the practices of physical world design culture.

Other goals:

  1. Establishment of a sustainable transnational European Virtual and Hybrid Industrial Design Studio with the participation three European Universities with a new holistic approach (TR, PT, ES) including active learning.
  2. Creation of a virtual material lab and virtual mechanisms and production methods workshop to facilitate the usage of correct data is needed to establish the relationships in problem solving, basing on the experience gained, production of a guide for virtual industrial design studios intended for the sustainability of the results (design educators creating distance design curricula, learning designs and courses).
  3. Integration of the augmented design solutions for humanizing the proposed industrial design concepts.
  4. Integration of a new instant and rubric evaluation method for proper assessment of the industrial design phases of the transnational student teams.

Virtual design studios provide a collaborative working environment for the participants. Collaborative work created by virtual design studios, students, educators or experts from their own or various disciplines come together for joint projects and learn to work in an interdisciplinary collaboration. In this project, students can carry out projects with communication at a local or global level and learn about different perspectives other than their own. The partnership considers the Industrial Design as an interface of Architecture and Engineering. Within this respect, function of innovative products considering the appropriate material, production method and mechanisms come across as the priority. A second goal is humanizing the appropriate industrial design solutions together with the economic aspects. The holistic approach should be primarily based on these issues. After covid 19 pandemic, all the industrial design studios must be done virtually regardless of the compliance with the expected outcomes of the studios. The studio cannot be regarded as a classical university course since it must cover several concepts in an interactive multidisciplinary way. Correct data is needed to establish the relationships in problem solving during industrial design phases. Conceptual Design (CD) is the most important part of a project, and it is the most difficult and least understood. Good CD means innovation, and an innovative design comes when one deliberately tries to create one. Thus, critical thinking on collected data at the early stage has a significant impact on the next stages. Students should be in an inquiry-based learning (IBL) style in order to develop their critical thinking skills.
