Transfer and development in the University. Teaching methods and projects of the Hfg, Schwabisch Gmuend Stuttggart, Germany

Scientific principles, knowledge, and the rational justification of design decisions. Innovative design aims to achieve economic, ecological, and social sustainability.

The Designer aims for the achievement of the economic, social and ecological sustainability

Intensive and interdisciplinary foundation studies are the hallmark of the HfG programme. The foundation courses establish a firm basis for creative competence in design activities and establish a reliable repertoire of methods, aesthetic experiences, and techniques. The teaching program aims to encourage curiosity and thirst for knowledge, to develop methodical thinking, to transfer established professional content, and to strengthen students’ social and intercultural competences. The organizational and technical elements are coordinated and integrated to supports students’ learning processes.

Critical and methodical thinking, theoretical justification, and practical skills become inseparably combined.

The core topics of the Communication Design course include communication systems and publications, exhibitions, information campaigns, the visualization of scientific and technical content, direction and orientation systems, company and institutional identities, and teaching and learning materials. The Interaction Design and „Internet of Things“ courses deal with software interfaces, machine and device control, internet applications, information terminals, and applications for the latest media technologies. The Product Design course is concerned with the design of technical consumer and investment goods, tools, furniture, exhibition stands, medical equipment, and accessories carried and used on the body, and with the planning of transport, logistic, and mobility systems.

The University consciously avoids artistic or crafts aspects in its teaching of design foundations. On the contrary, all five courses emphasize scientific principles and knowledge, and the rational justification of design decisions. Innovative design aims to achieve economic, ecological, and social sustainability. Scientific research, cooperation and transfer with institutions and industry nationally and internationally are distinguishing.
