Industrial Design. I agree that the concept; design, has lost a lot of it’s relevance: it has to certain extent become preempted. Design could be anything: as a concept it has grown out of its own definition. As a word it means draw, like the French “dessiner “. Unlike France, Sweden included the word in its vocabulary without proper definition or conditions for its use. In France the verb is still “dessiner”, but for the profession, “designer” has become accepted for all occupations where you “dessin”, you draw. The lack of a clear definition became very evident as colleges and higher education institutions in Sweden and elsewhere started to offer a multitude of design courses: a designer could be as well an artist as an engineer. This is not merely a problem for industrial design and not a question of bad translation. Even in the Anglo-Saxon world where the word and concept belongs, it is badly defined. At Goldsmith’s where in initiated my doctoral studies, the faculty of design had an approach close to cultural studies already in the late 90th. At Central Saint Martin’s, where I chose to continue and pass my PhD in industrial design, this was a specialisation within product design. Before I Ieft the college, then having become a university, UAL, as associated researcher, I experienced the emergence of courses like Design Innovation, Design Futures, Spatial Design, Criminal Prevention Design etc. At that time scholars in the design community had coined the concept Design Thinking as an unstructured method for problem solving. It attracted attention and has become a tool outside what we - even broadly - regard as the design disciplines. It succeeded the concept Design Method which had become regarded as too rational and hence limiting creativity. However, I don’t think we should look too much back to the time when design education or “formgiving”, was focused on material, form, colours and technic. It belongs to a time when the user was expected to adjust to the object as the offers still were limited and everything could be sold, however awkward to the user. In today’s consumption society the user decides. Moreover, since several years now product sustainability is primordial and an ongoing process, not a project. Sustainability is far from merely material properties and manufacturing methods but also about objects immaterial properties, its capacity to sustain affectively. This is a very important part of a products total functionality and thus also in the end defining it’s market success - or it’s fast track to a crap yard. This holistic approach is needed to develop education in product and industrial design and give these disciplines back their relevance. A friend of mine complained some years ago that when hiring a person with a design degree it is difficult to figure out what competences you get. In an improved future, to be an industrial designer could be a brand, like an MBA!

“Evolve or die” extols the maxim… … And so considering my own “squiggly career path” to quote Amazing If I’m looking for possible additional study and potential new bridging qualifications… in short design diversity opening up more opportunities for design, (not just buildings, not just architecture) to do a lot more of what I love to do actually, and a lot less of that I don’t so much. Industrial design / product design Automotive design Furniture design Materials and industrial engineering Mechanical design and engineering Any advice? The Open University looks interesting, and is a potential route to study and qualifications… I’ve been absolutely filling piles and piles of sketchbooks for nearly 40 years with all sorts of designs for this and that (cars, to RC models, to furniture, to skateboards, to moulds, presses, vacuum formed objects, to jigs and manufacturing tools and on and on and on) and on reflection very little of that has been architecture (or maybe I just get enough of that in my day job!!) I love designing furniture, reception desks, bars, kitchens, bathrooms, but I’m keen to learn of more of the processes of making stuff (maybe I need to work making stuff for a few years?) I’ve been intrigued in recent years listening to podcasts of industrial designers like Paul Schmitt and it’s not that I’m going to stop designing buildings, I’d just like to introduce some more of my other interests into my work stream and workflows as a day job designer… it’s easy to keep the status quo, and it’s challenging to change… What would you change? If anything was possible?

There are two distinct reactions I get when I tell people that I don’t generally have to take tests as an Industrial Design major. The first response usually goes like this… 🙎♂️ "Ahh… I’ve heard Industrial Design is a super project-heavy major. I’ve heard it’s pretty challenging and you guys have pretty rough studio critiques. " The rest of my interactions look a little different: 🙎♂️ "Do you take tests?" ↪ No, not exactly. Most of our assignments are project-based. 🙎♂️ “Ahh you have it so easy. What do you even do all day if you don’t have to study?" ↪ Uhhhhh.. ( spend most of my time in studio 🛠 ) 🙎♂️ “And what about grading?" ↪ We have to work towards our project deadlines with regular graded checkpoints sometimes months in advance. Grading is often very critical and is a combination of 4-5 different criteria. 🙎♂️ "Hmmm…What do they even teach you for you to be graded? How to draw?" 🤦♀️ At this point in the conversation I'm generally at a loss for words. 🙄 The second reaction is more common than I’d like to admit, especially when most students at Georgia tech are either CS or engineering majors. While it can be frustrating to hear the second response, I’ve come to understand that these reactions often come from a place of unawareness of design. So even if you’ve had some of the same questions in the past, don’t worry I did too before I entered the design world. Someone helped me understand what design was and I hope I can do the same. Here's a glimpse into our world: 🔹 Project-Based Evaluations: Our primary assessments are through design projects, where we apply design principles, problem-solving skills, and creativity to create functional and aesthetically pleasing products. 🔹 Structured Grading: Grading isn't about personal opinions; it's guided by clear criteria like innovation, usability, craftsmanship, and adherence to project goals. This ensures our work is rigorously assessed and consistently measured. 🔹 Process Documentation: We meticulously document our design process, including research, sketches, prototypes, and iterations. This shows our thought process and the journey to the final design. 🔹 Presentations and Critiques: A significant part of our evaluation involves presenting our work to peers and professors. Feedback sessions (or 'crits') are invaluable, providing diverse perspectives and constructive criticism. Design is more than just making things look good – it's about solving real-world problems through thoughtful and innovative design. It's rigorous, challenging, and immensely rewarding. - 👋 I'm Jyotsna–I write about design from a student perspective. 💬 Like and comment to support. 🔄 Repost to build awareness about design. #IndustrialDesign #DesignThinking #CreativeProcess #Innovation #DesignEducation

"The Role of the Industrial Designer: Beyond Creators, Facilitators of Solutions" Industrial designers should be true field professionals, as my teachers wisely insisted. We are often encouraged to step out of our usual environments and immerse ourselves in the tangible reality that surrounds us: from visiting squares and markets to attending concerts and roaming the streets. This practice not only connects us with the pulse of everyday life, but also teaches us that inspiration is not simply the result of divine muses, but rather the outcome of careful research and the application of methodologies acquired in the field, alongside the end customer. When we are hired by a client, our primary responsibility is to understand and meet their specific needs. We are more than mere product creators; we are solution facilitators, transforming the desires and aspirations of the client into tangible and functional realities. Unlike salespeople who may offer intangibles or employ sales tactics, we do not assume that role. Our professional ethics are based on integrity and the ability to blend science and art. We merge technical knowledge of the industry with design creativity to produce results that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also efficient and practical in their application. In summary, being an industrial designer entails more than just having creative skills; it involves having a deep understanding of the environment in which we operate, as well as the client we serve. This combination of broad vision and technical skills allows us not only to meet the needs of the client, but also to exceed their expectations and contribute to the success of their company.
