    This document discusses the evolution of the industrial design field as it relates to architecture and construction. Specifically, it addresses three phenomena: [1] project globalization involving multinational collaboration on large-scale developments; [2] building reconversion adapting existing structures to new uses; and [3] increasing temporariness in projects like expos requiring transportable and reusable structures. The exam poses two questions: [1] how industrial design approaches can help address mass production, standardization and other issues in construction projects; and [2] proposing innovations to an existing consumer electronic or functional building product to improve areas like design, implementation and maintenance.

    FIRST LEVEL SPECIALIZING MASTER IN

    INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTURE

    Entry exam for candidates


    time: 4 hours

    Introduction to the Master


    In the current survey of development in the building branch on a global
    scale the professional figure of the planner (whether an architect or a
    designer) is evolving to face competently projects that are characterized
    by three phenomena that are quickly increasing

    1. Project Globalization
    New cities and settlements made of big buildings developed in a very
    short time are coming up and growing in the Middle East, in Eastern
    Europe, in South-Eastern Asia as well as in China and India.
    Planners, builders and building components producers belonging to
    different countries and to unhomogeneous cultures intervene in these
    works.
    In this case a globalization of the sector can be witnessed both in its
    cultural aspects and in its project and development and it needs a
    language and planning technology sharing about which a specific training
    must be formulated.

    2. Reconversion of Buidings
    A second evolving field in is the one of the reconversion of buildings
    (especially those of the services sector) that are transformed to be used
    for new functions or to receive a new consignee. These buildings can be
    partially or completely stripped of their “skin” and only their structure can
    be preserved. The coating and all the removable elements (both interior
    and exterior) can be substituted in order to give a new shape both to the
    building aesthetics and to its function. It is an effective system both in
    terms of carrying out time and costs and it requires special design and
    building solutions that must be developed and presuppose a knowledge in
    mass production and in industrial processes that are typical of scale
    economics.

    3. Temporariness
    Another sphere that is strongly developing is the branch of events that are
    characterized by their temporariness: an example are the international
    expositions that have a duration that can vary from some days to some
    months and that require specific types of building. The transport, the
    adaptability to various contexts, the carrying out, the abandonment and
    the reuse are some of the characteristics that must be taken into
    consideration by the planner who should in particular consider the
    different contexts in which the temporary structures can be used by
    getting analogies from design for assembly and/or design for
    disassembly (to which industrial design refers)

    1. General Question

    Starting form the subject number 1 that is mentioned above please


    supplement the description (by using also some examples) and highlight
    the relevant project spheres that take advantage from the application of a
    project approach that is typical of industrial design. This means putting
    into connection the problems of the construction sector (from the project
    to the yard) with the project competences that are typical of industrial
    design, that has always been oriented to solve mass production problems,
    standardization, compatibility of components and systems, assembly, etc.

    Max 2500 characters

    2. Project Question

    Many different products are used in the construction field:

    A. finished built-in products that integrate with buildings, typically building


    components and plant systems;

    B. consumer electronic products and functional products (building


    automation, lighting systems, ect.);
    C. mass building products, that is temporary structures and modular
    building solutions.

    Please choose an existing product from the product type B and describe
    which are the innovation possibilities for this product from the point of
    view of design, carrying out, maintenance, etc. with renard to the
    development survey described above. The candidate can make use of
    examples of buildings, products and best practices. The text can be
    supplemented by sketches and graphic plans.
