Completed foundation level courses or equivalent education (bachelor). Knowledge of 3D modelling techniques.
ProtoHype is an advanced course in industrial design dealing with new tools for developing, prototyping and conveying design solutions. Primacy is given to new contexts and themes that rather require radical than incremental solutions. The course is organized around two extensive main iterations and phases. The first phase is based on a foresight a few decades ahead and then, as a second phase, the result of the first phase is back-casted in time and designed for a more contemporary context. The outcome of both phases will be physical products conveyed by both digital media and physical models.
The course focuses specifically on the active use of various forms of physical and digital prototypes that supports the innovation process. Traditional sketching and model building will therefore be blended with 3D modelling, video-sketching, VR and other forms of conveying a rich variety of different design concepts. Independent of what technology is used, emphasis will always be on the core competences traditionally found in industrial design.

Form of assessment | Grouping | Grading scale | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Portfolio assessment (Vurderingsmappe) | Individual | Pass / fail | The course will primarily be assessed through project work, self-assessments and deliveries submitted as design models, videos and presentations. The first phase is assessed by involved teachers and finally the whole course is assessed by an external supervisor. The student need pass both phases to pass the course. For students that fail one of the two modules, a portfolio assessment of the whole coursework will be carried out in the end of the semester to finally decide if the student has reached the desired learning outcome |
Workload activity | Comment |

Written assignments | 80% attendance on all the compulsory moments (lectures, seminars, workshops) and 100% on all compulsory deliveries. |
