Course Description:
An introduction to design as research based activity and inquiry process based on awareness, observation, speculation, iteration and communication within existing and proposed abstract and scalar situations. Course provides demonstration of acquired skills within project based learning by placing design as an intervention in the world where ideas, nature of materiality, act of making, employment of technologies, the nature of the environment, and time intersect and mutually influence each other. Course and projects introduce issues, concepts, materials, processes and skills pertaining to two- and three-dimensional design and realization. Lab, shop, and field/site based projects utilize freehand and constructed 2D and 3D representation, analogue and digital modeling, full scale realization/materialization, and visual communication of ideas, designs, objects and environments.
