Master of Design in Building Products and Systems

Program descriptionThe Master of Design Building Products and Systems program synthesizes a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach with strong emphasis on the hands-on experimentation working in collaboration with emergent technologies and industrial partnerships. The goal of this program is to provide future product designers with thorough knowledge and skills in the field of industrial design: specifically, the design of products which are part of built spaces. The program builds on the human–centered design approach to problem-solving, starting with the people one is designing for and ends with new creative solutions balancing aesthetics, product performance, sustainability and ease of manufacturing.

The course is spread over four semesters, each emphasizing a specific aspect of the discipline of building product design. The curriculum enables a student to develop analytical and practical skills within a specific domain area working closely with industrial and non-industrial processes. During study, students will dwell into diverse courses covering knowledge about structures, manufacturing processes, design aesthetics, form making, craft techniques, design detailing, system design, Design management, intellectual property rights, patents, design thinking. The students will work closely with an industry (organized or unorganized sector) to develop their final design project in the last semester. In addition to the studio courses, students are also required to take mandatory courses, seminars and workshops.

With a good understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, creative and methodical problem-solving techniques our graduates will be able to collaborate with external partners as design professionals either in design studios or with the industry at different positions. Graduates from this programme will complement their creative potential with structured learning. They would possess academic research abilities with an up to date knowledge of best practice methods in product design. Graduates will be equipped with practical knowledge and skills to connect the dots between product design, materiality, and product performance.

With the multidisciplinary approach and specialized experts in the field of architecture, design, planning and construction technology available on campus, CEPT holds a unique position to offer this program. The program also has dedicated faculty experts with over thirty years of professional experience to mentor and nurture the students. CEPT campus also has state of the art Fab Lab and workshop facilities amongst the best in the country, to help convert ideas into realistic product prototypes. It also has high technology research and testing labs on campus accredited to the best in the world and working with the industry. The labs and workshop support the students and the industry partners which sponsor student projects. CEPT also has Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre (DICRC), which would develop the student's sensitivities and understanding of crafts opening possibilities for new avenues in designing building products and systems.

FINAL FORM

MATERIAL: PINEWOOD FOR GRIDSHELLTensile strength – For being a relatively lightweight building material, wood outperforms even steel when it comes to breaking length (or self-support length). Simply put, it can support its own weight better, which allows for larger spaces and fewer necessary supports.

Durable - Wood is a durable material which can last upto hundred years if treated properly. Modern wood preservatives and finishing can be added to enhance natural durability

Aesthetics - In addition to providing design flexibilty and strenght, wood has a timeless look which conveys warmth, strenght and character.

Workability - Pine wood being a soft wood can be bent by steam bending. It works fairly well with hand and machine tools.

The final design aims to provide a product which is manufactured in a factory and transported to the remotest corners in the

country. It is rugged for the rural Indian context and can be erected on site with minimum site works.

A flat and levelled ground is needed to place the precast concrete structure which is mostly hollow from within , in order the

reduce the self weight which can be filed with locally available aggregates to increase its stablility.

The MS structure for the walls and roof can be easily erected on site with minimum help from the external agencies.

The infill materials for the walls , door and roof can be made the users with the locally available materials . This reduces the cost of

the product and also develops a sense of ownership among users who while making the roofs and walls develop an attachment

, which encourages them to stop defecating in the open.

It has an Indian style stainless steel squatting pot to ease the process of cleaning and maintainance.

Different roofing materials used like

corrugated GI sheets , sandwich PUF

panels , shera boards etc.

The roof is supported by a 2

layered 60 x 40 and 40 x 40 MS

framework with the lower lay-

er supporting the pivoted door

with the upper layer supporting

the roof covering material.

Program structureThe course is spread over four semesters, each emphasizing a specific aspect of the Furniture design practice. Studios in this program are offered by a range of academic and practicing design professionals, and thus have a balance of industry-oriented and pragmatic explora-tions. During the first semester, a foundation studio is offered which emphasizes and revolves around the idea of a design process.

The subsequent semesters have independent studio units offered, enabling students to choose their own path and journey. The studios revolve around the key themes centred on the idea of habitation, technology-production, and profession. Apart from the studio units, there are other theory and technology-driven courses introducing students to key concepts in the field of funtiure design. Students also get to choose their own palette of elective and summer winter courses to complete their credit requirement.

The idea is to design steps on the AMTS buses in order to reduce the effort to board a bus for the people in the age bracket of 55 years and above.

After careful study , three places were decided where these steps could be installed.

1. On the outer surface of the bus.2. On the door outside the bus.3. Underneath the existing steps.

P R O C E S S :

6 mm thick hard rubber screwed onto the aluminium covering. This acts as a cush-ion so that the edge of the step doesnot hurt the commuters while boarding the bus.

25 mm x 25 mm mild steel box section has been used for the framing of the steps. The different parts are welded together and most-ly mitered joints are used. The frame has inter-mediate supports for the aluminium covering.

The frame is later painted yellow to match the existing accessories in the amts buses and to prevent rusting as well.

The mild steel frame underneath has an aluminium covering on top of it.

Corrguated aluminium sheet has been used which is riveted on the frame from bottom.

The broad head of one of the arms doesnot allow the other arm to rotate more than the position at which both the arms are on the same line, thus holding the footboard at an angle of 90 degree.

Mild steel plates are riveted onto the frame with sinages on either sides. In closed position it reads ‘ Caution ‘ while in open position , it reads ‘ Donot rush ‘. This makes the product more interractive for its users .

Red radium reflective tapes are applied on the footboard . These tapes glow at night thus marking the space where the commuter needs to rest his feet while boarding the bus .

It also makes the other cars aware of the folding step that protrudes from the surface of the bus.

This part A has been designed such that the riser of the foot-board does not move back when a user steps on the footboard.

Even though there is a sup-port to keep the footboard in place. This part provides an additional support to the same.

In this design proposal , the steps come out from under the bus with the opening of the door.

The major drawback is that the footboard is completely out of sight of the commuters. Hence they might come in way of its opening and hurt them-selves in this process.

In this design proposal , the footboard is placed on the outer body of the bus.

The major drawback is the opening of the step might take a lot of time which might not be possible in the given time frame.The opening of the step might hinder the traffic.

In this design proposal , the footboard is placed underneath the existing steps on the bus. It rolls down and once it touches the ground, it rolls out.

The major drawback is that it involves a lot of senors making its use opera-tion cumbersome. Also it might not function in a tight time frame and uneven road conditions.

This design proposal includes a handrail coming out along with the footboard., which is on the outer face of the door.

The major issue was the stability of the footboard once it unfolds itself. Hence with certain modifications , keeping the position of the design proposal same, a simialr design was proposed.

The proposed design suggests a foldable step that rests on the outer face of the bus door and folds out when the bus stops. It folds back when the bus leaves the stop.

• The proposed footboard is in sync with the opening of the dus door. • It can be operated by the bus driver with the help of a switch.• It folds out along infront of the commuters , hence reducing the chances of anyone coming in

way of the folding step.

Some portions of the footboard are covered with 3M anti skid layer such that people donot slip during rainy seasons. These silicone adhesive anti skid tapes can withstand outdoor weather conditions.

• It streamlines the sudden protrusion of 125 mm from the bus surface.• It has red radium strips on it to make other vehicles aware of the foldable footboard.

The idea is to design steps on the AMTS buses in order to reduce the effort to board a bus for the people in the age bracket of 55 years and above.

After careful study , three places were decided where these steps could be installed.

1. On the outer surface of the bus.2. On the door outside the bus.3. Underneath the existing steps.

P R O C E S S :

6 mm thick hard rubber screwed onto the aluminium covering. This acts as a cush-ion so that the edge of the step doesnot hurt the commuters while boarding the bus.

25 mm x 25 mm mild steel box section has been used for the framing of the steps. The different parts are welded together and most-ly mitered joints are used. The frame has inter-mediate supports for the aluminium covering.

The frame is later painted yellow to match the existing accessories in the amts buses and to prevent rusting as well.

The mild steel frame underneath has an aluminium covering on top of it.

Corrguated aluminium sheet has been used which is riveted on the frame from bottom.

The broad head of one of the arms doesnot allow the other arm to rotate more than the position at which both the arms are on the same line, thus holding the footboard at an angle of 90 degree.

Mild steel plates are riveted onto the frame with sinages on either sides. In closed position it reads ‘ Caution ‘ while in open position , it reads ‘ Donot rush ‘. This makes the product more interractive for its users .

Red radium reflective tapes are applied on the footboard . These tapes glow at night thus marking the space where the commuter needs to rest his feet while boarding the bus .

It also makes the other cars aware of the folding step that protrudes from the surface of the bus.

This part A has been designed such that the riser of the foot-board does not move back when a user steps on the footboard.

Even though there is a sup-port to keep the footboard in place. This part provides an additional support to the same.

In this design proposal , the steps come out from under the bus with the opening of the door.

The major drawback is that the footboard is completely out of sight of the commuters. Hence they might come in way of its opening and hurt them-selves in this process.

In this design proposal , the footboard is placed on the outer body of the bus.

Student TestimonialsThis course has helped me to look at the smallest details in an object which changes the experience of a user in the course of interaction. It has taught me to identify design opportunities in things invisible to most of us and approach it in an empathetic manner. This course has made me evolve not only as a designer but as an individual who is more concerned about his role in the society.

- Arkid Bhandari, Batch of 2018

The course bridged the gap between an engineer and an aspiring designer in me. Thesesemesters have inculcated sensibilities through a human centric approach. Alongsideincorporating industrial aspects as value addition. Affirming a holistic design impact.The research-design thinking approach provided a knack to recognise opportunities andoptimize them through my contribution. I believe this has taken me a step forward in not onlyappreciating detailing and empathy towards designing thinking but following them up throughexecution.

- Shagun Malavia, Batch of 2018

Gaining knowledge inturn leads you to the path of learning more.Hence,After my bachelor's in architecture my desire to learn the reality of materials and there making was the intention behind joining this course. The last 2 semesters have been an experience in terms of the pace of work we do, the exposure to a variety of techniques followed to learn and working with real materials. But, cept does not fail to surprise specifically this course in terms of course structure every semester.The course being new is very experimental which enables us self exploration.

- Poorva, Batch of 2019

As the world changes at an unforeseen pace the challenges that conform to the built environment are much larger than one could imagine. The MBPS course will equip you to connect the dots between the space and the user while opening your eyes into a larger framework of product design that cater to enhancing the built environment.

- Shirley Batch of 2019

I am from a Mechanical Engineering background. I have worked in the automotive industry prior to joining the course. The intensive learning during the foundation program built a fine understanding of how each stage of the design process works and contributes to the designing and manufacturing of a product. One finds a great way of learning design that first goes through the basics and then gradually builds up confidence while making something and each subsequent exercise becomes a challenge.
