Design, the intelligence of things. The world does not need more products, but smarter ones. Industrial design is not only the architecture of objects in terms of functionality and usability, it also carries a responsibility for their social and ecological impacts. This especially applies to the working conditions and social standards under which products are made, the raw materials used, the energy consumed, and how easy they are to repair, recycle or biodegrade. These factors are what make products truly relevant and intelligent. A holistic design approach at the Institute Industrial Design at FH Joanneum in Graz

Design, die Intelligenz der Dinge. Die Welt braucht nicht noch mehr Produkte, sondern intelligentere. Industrial Design ist nicht nur die Architektur der Dinge hinsichtlich ihrer Funktionalität und Usability, sondern trägt auch eine Verantwortung für deren sozialen und ökologischen Impact. Gerade die Arbeitsbedingungen und Sozialstandards, die Rohstoffe und der Energieverbrauch bei der Produktion, aber auch ihre Reparierbarkeit, Recycelbarkeit oder biologische Abbaubarbarkeit machen Produkte erst relevant und intelligent. Ein ganzheitlicher Designzugang des Instituts Industrial Design an der FH Joanneum in Graz.
