Course Flow Plan

Week	Subject	Related Preparation
1)	· Meeting with Students and Instructor Getting to know multidisciplinary design studios and examining examples from real projects ( www.form3.com , www.fuseproject.com, www.patriciaurquiola.com, www.bouroullec.com, www.zanellatobortotto.com ) · Get to know the trainer's background and design experiences. · Delivering the 1st Workshop homework papers to the students.
2)	Getting to Know Contemporary Designers and Analyzing Collaborations with Firms: · Getting to know Contemporary Designers and examining realized projects. · What is it like to be an Art Director for leading companies as a designer at the same time? · Understanding and researching collaborations with manufacturing companies. · Design Analysis and Criticism – brainstorming.
3)	Material · Researching and discussing the Materials used in Sample Projects. · To discuss and analyze the relationships between the Material and the User. · To raise awareness by detailing the design stages we mentioned in the production process.
4)	Material · To examine the ways of using textiles and fabrics. · Analyzing its use in Furniture and Interior Designs. · To perform brainstorming with examples from the projects of Contemporary Designers.
5)	Material · Analyzing Ergonomic Materials by taking them from sample projects. · Talking about innovative materials and choosing the most suitable material for the Project. · To focus on the goal, purpose, trend, idea behind it when starting a project.
6)	Workshop 1 / first Presentations · Presentations prepared in line with the Homework given to the students are presented in the classroom. · Revisions are made.
7)	Form / Ergonomics · Researching Form and Ergonomics through current projects. · To progress by exemplifying real projects.
8)	Form / Ergonomics · Interim Presentation and Revisions of Workshop 1 will be made. · We will talk about Projects Designed on Form / Ergonomics.
9)	Usage / Durability · Final Delivery day of Workshop 1, Presentations will be received. · We will talk about usage / durability of the product in projects.
10)	Multiple Locations; Approach to Bauhaus and Sculptor Dani Karavan's projects · Traveling from Germany to Tel Aviv to study, get to know and talk about Bauhaus Architecture. Can we call it multiple venues? Immigrant Architecture. · Getting to know the worldwide projects of Tel Aviv-born Sculptor Dani Karavan; a sculptor Being able to see that the artist, who realizes Environmental Design projects, knows no limits in dimensions.
11)	Revisions are made on the Personal Portfolio Preparations of the students. · Individuals should introduce themselves in the best way so that they can enter business life, They need to highlight and present their talents. · Thanks to the Digital Portfolio Presentations you will design, It will be easier for you to reach professionals.
12)	Portfolio Revisions
13)	Contemporary Lifestyles and the Role of Technology in Production · What does it mean to be a Designer in today's world? As individuals directing companies, we must perform this task in the best and most efficient way. · With the rapid progress of technology, we as individuals should be able to develop our parallel thinking structure and aim for a new world for future generations by making use of technology. We design the future by preserving emotional intelligence and an authentic point of view.
14)	Students' Final Portfolio Presentations are made and Final Submissions are made.
