The aim of this course is for students to analyze and critically evaluate furniture design, manufacturing, components and materials, as well as the basic principles of ergonomics.

Students will learn to handle different groups of basic construction materials and their properties in order to distinguish their chemical composition and historical development, thus being able to define uses, limitations, and formal possibilities for generating new and future products.

After completing this course, students will be able to apply 3-D generation tools and parametric design tools properly, enabling the modeling and visualization of prototypes and projects, thus being in control of digital post-production and 3D visualization and the generation of photorealistic images.

Students will become acquainted with and understand the different aspects related to the organization of interior spaces of various types in order to tackle and solve space distribution issues.

Students will become acquainted with, apply, and experience lighting technology, systems, and equipment as well as their principles and design standards.

Students will be able to distinguish the different elements of a building such as structure and facilities as well as the materials with which they can be built, in order to identify the limitations of the elements and building materials.

Students will be able to apply the different free-hand and digital representation techniques through proper and an adequate graphic language and appropriate descriptive systems in order to achieve and correctly present the ideas and designs of projects in two and three dimensions, comprising and taking into account the basic regulations applicable to projects in interior design.

The aim of this course is for students to understand and properly apply the terms concerning perspective, obtaining an adequate command of the representation of the three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane; and to understand the logic of the perspective representation which permits solving visual representation problems.

Students will achieve an understanding of the fundamental elements and variable elements of the composition of space and its relation to the context in order to generate a concept through the exploration, analysis, and relationship of the development process of an innovation and design project.
