Human Factors, Comfort and Design
Omschrijving
Two-day Masterclass (September 28-29). Better performance by designing for the ideal ergonomic context.
Many companies need to design for comfort in order to be attractive, increase performance and improve productivity. Products and environments are key to fulfilling these needs.
In this Master Class, professional designers, engineers and architects learn to: (1) design comfortable products which increase productivity (handtools, computer products and seats) as well as productive work environments (office interiors and assembly line interiors), and (2), design comfortable transport interiors (car, train and airplane).
Participants are shown how comfort and productivity can be achieved by changing the products and the physical environment.
Case examples of application are presented, revealing the effect on end users.
Learning objectives
During this Master Class, you will:
• understand the principles of experiencing comfort and discomfort;
• understand the principles of productivity related to products and environments;
• be able to execute the principles in product design;
• be able to execute the principles in the design of environments like offices, vehicle interiors and assembly lines.
What are IDE Master Classes?
IDE Master Classes are a series of intensive two-day, state-of-the-art Master Classes developed specifically for design professionals.
They are embedded within one of the world’s most forward-thinking design education programmes at TU Delft’s faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. The Master Classes are given by leaders in the design field, all of them top lecturers or alumni from the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, working in a range of disciplines of the continuously developing design field.
Why participate in IDE Master Classes?
The IDE Master Classes programme was developed to support the professional development of design practitioners. In groups of 10 to 16 participants, you gain insights into recent developments in the discipline, learning about the latest methods and tools currently being taught to new generations of designers. For many of you working in the field of design, this has proved an extremely effective way to refine your skills, focus your ambition, and/or simply broaden your mind and be inspired!
Each Master Class combines theory with interactive assignments and group cases: you directly apply what you learn. This is a great way of meeting the experts and working with other experienced designers, expanding your network, and creating new opportunities.
Learn from the experts as well as from each other!
