Further Information

Design means designing for sensible use and thereby reflects social-technological processes. Design developments are based on research into the technical and design interdependencies with contexts of the social-technological fabric.

In the Industrial Design teaching area, a comprehensive design approach is used to create innovative scenarios for disruptive situations in order to contribute to the improvement of human coexistence and interaction as a whole. Design projects are practiced with the help of a problem-oriented approach (teaching) and implemented in a goal-oriented manner (research and development).
