What connects us to our surroundings? What gives meaning to the things, spaces and services we use? Man and Well-Being creates a link between form and our experience of the world around us. As a student in Man and Well-Being you learn you learn that:
-
Design connects, makes us more aware, stimulates us to learn, to be active, to give as well as take
-
Design puts the human experience at the core of a product or a service, emotionally, physically, sensorially and subliminally
-
Design addresses our human needs, and starts from real life
-
Design brings together the cool head and the warm heart.
Recent projects have touched on topics such as water, money, food, the human sense of colour, and healthcare. If this main subject appeals to you, you will be fascinated by the emotional value of a product, its applications and its impact on users (What do users feel? Is there an element of interaction? Is there an emotional aspect to using this product?) Equally crucial in this department is a keen sense of atmosphere and detail.
