    → From Product to Product System

    What does advanced product design mean today?

    Product design can no longer be limited to simply creating objects, but must address environmental and social challenges with a systemic and responsible approach. Material shortages, climate change, and new European directives are pushing designers to rethink the life cycle of products, integrating sustainable solutions, innovative materials, and circular economy strategies. The course provides tools to design products and systems capable of reducingenvironmental impact and adapting to market changes.

    Course structure

    DECS’ training is divided into four main phases. It starts with sustainable design, analyzing the product life cycle and delving into the principles of circular economy and digitization. It then moves on to reading and design, where research and ergonomic analysis are combined with the definition of a conscious design strategy. The next phase, devoted to conscious translation, explores the use of materials, product language and semiotics applied to design. Finally, the Master Project allows for the application of acquired knowledge through a real project developed in collaboration with partner companies.

    Course Objectives.

    The goal of DECS is to provide participants with a sustainable design approach that enables them to manage design variables with awareness and responsibility. The course aims to develop a critical view of product design, refining the ability to integrate materials, aesthetics and function to meet contemporary market needs.

    To whom it is addressed

    The course is designed for recent graduates and professionals from the fields of product design, architecture, engineering, and sustainability who wish to specialize in circular system design and delve into product lifecycle management methodologies.

    Where it takes place

    The course is held at Poplab (Rovigo), the research laboratory of Scuola Italiana Design, an experimental and interdisciplinary environment that fosters hands-on learning and collaboration with companies and industry professionals.
