Innovation in design through materials: the Project-based Learning (PbL) Method
The Paper illustrates a specific “joined teaching” experience - addressed to students with a miscellaneous background of the Master of Science in Product Design at Sapienza University of Rome - lead by a Materials Science and Engineering Professor from Politecnico di Milano and a Design Professor from Sapienza University of Rome. This “joined teaching” experience has been built on a strong interaction and hybridization between the methodologies of material science (deductive-logical-analytical) and design (inductive-experiential-synthetical).
