brief
The students will acquire knowledge on how to define project concepts and contextualize the project in a cultural, economic and social framework; they will experiment on methodologies and tools to set up a research process to support the design processes, making the most strategic design choices. In particular, the course will be organized in 3 steps:

- Ideate and Visualize, where students will generate ideas and develop the most promising one into a well- defined concept.
