Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

Hi everyone!

I hope everybody is fine. Today I’m going to talk about my favorite subject this term.

This semester have been different and confussing for everyone in the university, personally I don't had a very good experience with my subjects by the teachers but the subject that I liked the most this semester was “processes and prototypes I”. As the name implies, this is about production processes and prototypes, and it teaches us that as design students, we should be more concerned with the process than with the end result. Within what we could see, we saw concepts related to production and their relationship between them  such as tools, raw materials, products, among others.

We also saw the traceability of objects, the Rube Goldberg machine concept and finally the mathematical model of Rosalind Krauss.

Personally I like this subject because it opened my eyes to what's behind the design and I believe that it is very interesting and important for design students. In my class, we did differents works such as the production processes of a recipe, the traceability of an object, we even did a Rube Goldberg machine with all classmates through video editing. And this is what I liked the most about the subject but I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted due to the online method.

Example of Rube Golberg machine:
