Course Detail: PDFN-137 - FOUNDATIONS - 2D AND 3D INTEGRATED DESIGN

This studio course introduces students to the interrelated nature of 2D and 3D forms, concepts, and materials, through a series of design exercises that explores the sensory nature of ideas from flat and geometric to physical and tactile. Students work within an iterative process to create multiple projects, organizing visual elements in order to understand the role of aesthetics, meaning, and craft through project outcomes. Projects further introduce students to the role of design thinking, in order to better understand the creative process. Projects will be phased including research, concept ideation, visual development, prototyping, and the refinement of final design solutions with critical assessments built in strategically throughout the project duration.
