Questions 20

Answers

1
Art Nouveau architecture stressed:
Exotic use of materials on the exteriors
The re-establishment of barriers amongst the arts
Plain exteriors with wild interiors
Spatial rather than visual
2
3D printing a prototype can have drawbacks, including:
Unevenly melted plastic that gives off toxic fumes
The cost of materials and inability to stop the process once it starts
The cost of large prototypes and time needed for the CAD file
Prototypes have high fidelity, yet are made from a non-rigid material
3
Mass production was developed:
In England during the industrial revolution
In Germany from a “machine aesthetic”
Out of a human desire for order
Through the emergence of language
4
During the Research stage, a designer wishes to understand:
Prototypes, costs, and specifications
Client, detailed design and production run
History, context, and constraints
Materials, concepts, and assembly
5
What technique did Thonet use to produce his iconic ‘Vienna Chairs’?
Machine-based carving and wood shaping tools
Growing trees into the correct organic shape for his chairs
Steamed wood, laminated and bent in factories
Craftsmen skilled in the forming of wood into angular shapes
6
Brainstorming should include:
Pushing for at least one idea from everyone
A clear evaluation of ideas as they come forth
A clear written problem statement
Post-it notes and critical feedback
7
What are the differences between secondary and primary research?
Primary research comes second, secondary research uses new sources
Primary research uses new sources and comes after secondary research
Secondary research uses new sources, primary research uses existing sources
Secondary research comes second, primary research comes first
8
Lateral thinking shows that:
Creativity comes naturally to smart people
People are born creative
Older people are less creative
Creativity is a learnable skill
9
Art Deco became associated with mobility due to:
Democratic leisure pursuits like cruise ships and air travel
The movement of people during the Great Depression
An interest in international travel and mass media
Luxury and the changing of the status quo
10
Analogical thinking allows people to:
Consider alternatives such as biomimicry
Develop mind maps more quickly
Brainstorm in groups using left-brain thinking
Evaluate ideas through convergence
11
Drop forging produces stronger results than casting because:
Drop forging is always done with alloys
Casting is only done with soft metals
More heat is applied to the forge
Pressure is applied to drop forged metal
12
New products are always:
Well designed due to progress
Innovative, creative and cheaper to produce
A firm break with older technologies
An addition to an existing solution
13
If you were asked to design a product in the ‘De Stijl’ tradition, which of the following characteristics might it have?
Organic, flowing forms, inspired by nature and Gothic traditions
An emphasis on social considerations of the product within the home
The use of simple geometric forms and primary colours
The replacement of style through functional, modern technology
14
According to the lecture slides, the first and second stage of any design project are typically:
Research and brief
Prototyping and research
Detailed design and market research
Sketching and research
15
Radios became prominent during the Interwar Period because:
The batteries and cabinets were vastly improved
They were expensive and a sign of prestige
Early electronics made the devices more affordable
They offered instant one-way communication
16
Which of the following describes the process of Deep Drawing?
Angularly transforming pieces of sheet metal using a brake press
Sheets of lubricated metal gradually pushed over a steel cylinder
Making parts by pressing red hot metal into a metal die
Metal sheets spun around a blank and deformed with a hardened steel roller
17
Which of the following roles does Explorative Prototyping serve?
To show an engineering team the exact configuration of mechanisms
To communicate to the client what the final product will look like
As a form of experimentation and thinking for the designer
To understand the requirements of the target market
18
Two educational ideas introduced at the Bauhaus included:
Merging of art, technology and gesampkunstwerk
Learning by doing and Gestalt theories
Mass production and conformity
Machine aesthetic and tubular steel chairs
19
The primary purpose of streamlining was to: (2 Possible answers)
Optimize products through technology
Give products curved shapes for marketing
Reduce drag and turbulence on all products
Bring a cohesive design sense to many different products
20
How did the Art Nouveau style differentiate itself from the aesthetic of the Victorian and Gothic styles?
Art Nouveau decoration came from an object’s underlying form
Art Nouveau emphasized the new technology of electricity in its form
Art Nouveau simplified product form and focused on surface decoration
Art Nouveau made greater use of floral decorations
