About

The course on Form and aesthetics is a unique course where we are showcasing how the form of a product is generated. We have documented video case studies starting from creating abstract shapes and later on moving to targeted emotive forms. Finally, we have industry case studies of form generation both in consumer product companies and automotive companies. In the end, we have case studies of student projects that capture the complete design process showing how form plays an important role.

Intended audience: Design students
