Abstract

The paper examines how two independent academic working groups consisting of the National Centre for Product Design Research (PDR) based at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, (UWIC) in partnership with Nottingham Trent University, Audi Design Foundation and two leading consultancies met the challenge of creating, developing and prototyping a model from a client brief in just 24 hours. This paper describes the activities of each team, individual skills, design strategies, team dynamics, project management and virtual tools and in particular, the use of design and prototyping systems. The project and design process are described in detail, how barriers were overcome and how the project has contributed to the design curriculum.

Keywords: product design, CAD, collaboration, industrial design, 24 hour
