Lecture and practical course "Design +"

A series of meetings with leading experts in the field of architecture and industrial design will be held from February to April at the MMOMA Educational Center.

The goal of the project is to tell about the influence of design on all areas of a person’s creative life, to show that most of the world around us was created in a design studio.

The program is divided into two parts. The first cycle "Architecture and Design" consists of 5 lectures and is dedicated to the mutual influence of modern architecture and urban design. In addition to the revolutionary ideas of the past and the creativity of the icons of modernist architecture, the course will examine the key changes that the typology of the architecture of public spaces has undergone - train stations, retail outlets and others. We will also talk about how global architectural ideas have always found an answer in design and arts and crafts, how designs were reflected in volumes and lines of small forms in all styles and directions of the 20th century - from modern to modernism. At the end of the cycle, we will touch on the topic of 3D design and the concept of a smart city, an adaptive environment of the 21st century. Are design and architecture heterogeneous activities, do they have common ground, Do they serve a common cause, do they complement or continue each other? We will try to answer this question during the course. Each lecture will be accompanied by a small practical creative task.

The program will continue with a cycle of lectures and practical classes “Car Design as an Art”. At 5 meetings, we will dive directly into the specifics of industrial design: we will start with the history of the automotive industry, continue to study the basics of theoretical knowledge about how to create a car design, what is the role of design in this industry segment and what is the “car of the future” today. At the end of the cycle, each student will be able to create their own conceptual design of the car and present it at the final lesson.

Program dates: February - April 2022 (classes are held once a week on Wednesdays / Fridays at 19:30)

Venue: lecture hall of the MMOMA Educational Center (Yermolaevsky lane, 17).
