Study Notes

Industrial Design: History, Education, Definition, and Design Process

Industrial design is a process of designing physical products to be manufactured by mass production.
It involves determining a product's form and features before its production.
The design process can be conducted by an individual or a team with varied expertise.
Industrial design focuses on aesthetics and user-focused considerations, as well as solutions for problems of form, function, ergonomics, marketing, brand development, sustainability, and sales.
Industrial engineering is the process of optimizing complex processes, systems, or organizations used by manufacturers to realize industrial designs as mass-produced products.
The emergence of industrial design is linked to the growth of industrialization and mechanization that began with the industrial revolution in Great Britain in the mid-18th century.
Industrial design studies function and form and the connection between product, user, and environment.
Industrial designers work in small-scale design, focusing on aesthetic and user-interface aspects of products.
Industrial design professionals work with engineers, marketers, and other professionals to assure functionality, manufacturability, and customer satisfaction.
The design process may include user research, sketching, comparative product research, model making, prototyping, and testing, often utilizing 3D software and CAD programs.
Product characteristics specified by industrial designers may include overall form, location of details, colors, texture, and production processes.
Industrial design may also encompass engineering, usefulness, market placement, and other concerns such as psychology, desire, and emotional attachment of the user.Understanding Fourth Order Design and Industrial Design Rights
Fourth Order Design involves active participation of all stakeholders in the design process, including socio-political and ecological factors.
Fourth Order Design emphasizes that a solution does not exist within a vacuum and portrays people as a key feature in the overall design process.
The Rebuild by Design competition launched by the Obama administration after Hurricane Sandy is an example of Fourth Order Design.
The Big U was chosen for the award in the competition and consists of placing flood gates within neighborhoods and berms across the southern tip of Manhattan.
Living Breakwaters was another proposal offered to build a "necklace" at the south shore of Staten Island, which aims to tackle the revitalization of marine ecologies and ensure the island is able to host plant, animal, and human life.
Industrial Design Rights are intellectual property rights that make exclusive the visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian.
An industrial design consists of a shape, configuration, or composition of pattern or color, or a combination of pattern and color in three-dimensional form containing aesthetic value.
An industrial design can be a two- or three-dimensional pattern used to produce a product, industrial commodity, or handicraft.
Under the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Deposit of Industrial Designs, a WIPO-administered treaty, a procedure for an international registration exists.
A number of industrial designers have made such a significant impact on culture and daily life, such as Alvar Aalto, Raymond Loewy, Richard Teague, Viktor Schreckengost, Oskar Barnack, Charles and Ray Eames, Henry Dreyfuss, Eliot Noyes, John Vassos, Russel Wright, Dieter Rams, and Luigi Colani.
Apple's recent products were designed by Sir Jonathan Ive.
Industrial design can be a powerful tool for improving people's lives and can have a significant impact on society and the environment.
