IDGR600B - Design Fundamentals
The basic principles and elements of three-dimensional design are explored in depth through abstract 3-D models and discussion. Students build vocabulary, technical skills and critical awareness using a variety of materials, processes and tools. Emphasis is on specific techniques of design related research and analysis. Elements of interior design theory and their relationship to architectural theory provide a critical context in preparation for the design studios. A study of the relationship between theory and criticism provides a formative basis for design solutions. Additionally, the application of design theory as it relates to design methodology, interdisciplinary design and globalization broadens the designer's understanding and appreciation for this essential design tool. Based on the scope of a student's project or level of study there may be additional costs for materials and supplies.
