A basic idea of structure and static is described.
Imbedded into a general framework of aesthetics, the course offers a different analysis of sign systems by means of a semiotic instrument. It will imply denotations and connotations of design language, and will respectively refer to the medium and its messages. Destined to sharpen the consciousness of the future designers for signalizing metaphors within daily life, it will also deal with the uniformitarian vocabulary of mass production vs. handcraft, with the divergence between paradigm and syntagma. Additionally, a variety of analysis and theories about sign, signifier, signified, signification and semantics are to be studied within the course with case studies.

Within the course, various scaled projects are analyzed and redesigned in a “universal” way. The topics discussed in a parallel fashion with an Ergonomic base, aim to provide an elaborate understanding of designing spaces that not only accommodate and become functional for wheelchair users, but all kinds of people. Universal Design is often neglected in design education. It is seen as something that is sterile and a compulsory feature for disabled persons; as something that contradicts the creativity of a design project. The aim is for students to gain an understanding of the topic as an approach that is inclusive regardless of age, skill, or gender.
