Students develop creative invention, vision and original approach using experiments when searching for a new form, function and content of proposed work. Assignments are processed in the same manner as the previous course. The problems solved are more demanding by both their nature and extent, e.g.: urban transport design, shipping, experimental housing, waste disposal in the future, etc. Students are encouraged to process tasks so that their expression is a characteristic of their creative personality.
