The workplace was originally established in 1999. It focuses on industrial design and is capable to cover the industrial design process completely, from current status analyses and concepts to 3D models and (in certain areas) even prototypes. Individual employees of the Studio are members of professional design associations. Studio graduates are capable of creative resolutions of a wide range of design tasks. Their designs are synthesis of creative approaches and functional, ergonomic and production requirements. The education puts emphasis on team work with individual creative approaches and unconventional paradigms and practices. Students get acquainted with various design problems and the complex design process from analyses and research to creation of the design and its integration into given environment. Both practical and experimental tasks concerning wide range of human activities are resolved, by means of models/prototypes and IT (documentation). --------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: number of employees (B.1) = present status (updated 2009); number of patents (C.5) = total of 2008-2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
