Concept designing- call for participants

Society and companies will increasingly need engineers with a good design sense. These will be able to bring together diverse perspectives to create goods which express an optimum balance between design and function. Concept designing fundamentally embodies the issue of how to translate universal and multi-purpose thinking (concept) into a physical form.

In this workshop, there will be a presentation on how to structure and simply mould a design from the concept developed by debating a single theme. We won't say good or bad! Together with Musashino Art University's Design Information Group students, we will explore and grasp the important stages involved in "taking an idea and putting it into a form"- covering various possibilities, viewpoints, trial and error and important matters which are often overlooked. There is no restriction on school or year for students.
