Training objectives
- The laboratory purpose is to guide, study, understanding and experiment the design potential and enhancement of artistic-cultural heritage.
Deepening theoretical principles and critical tools, students will be guided to build a framework of knowledge concerning enhancement of cultural assets to theoretical, critical and analytical support of industrial design. Through the development of methodological tools, drawing practice, models creation and direct verification, the course will allow students to develop an autonomous and independent design practice (related to knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities) making concepts related to the enhancement of some specific case study realization of 3D unique carved hangers systems and details devoted to the artifact's exhibit in some european museums collections, and some particular double face paintings of Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo, Brazil starting from the model of the real artifact
