1. General information
The cultural value of the product is an obvious resource to take into account in any design project. However, the specific field of work in which the subject is focused - expo-graphics - represents a valuable employment niche in which product design professionals can contribute knowledge, tools and working methods within the cultural sector.
During the academic year, students will visit several cultural institutions and collaborate with a wide group of professional profiles which the students will meet in their professional future.
The subject works help to contribute to some extent to the achievement of the following SDGs: Goal 8, Objective 8.9 and Goal 12, Objective 12.b.
2. Learning results
At the end of this subject, students will be able to carry out an exhibition project taking into account the visitor's experience, the narrative appropriate to the contents and the distribution of space. Students will also be able to integrate in multidisciplinary teams in which there may be specialists in history, architecture, printing techniques, assembly brigades, institutional representatives, etc. providing knowledge of the industrial design activity such as project management, the resolution of technical aspects of various kinds, creativity in all phases of work and the development of communication strategies to different audiences, from a holistic and diverse perspective.
