TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIO
CLASS:
The first design studio introduces the fundamental processes and concepts of design thinking and making to beginning design students. This course emphasizes critical thinking, iterative making, and discussion as a means for understanding spatial composition and human inhabitation. Through a series of projects of increasing complexity, the student will learn methodologies for exploring and representing design ideas in drawings and models. Students will be expected to engage in graduate level reading and discussion related to the various topics presented. This course explores the commonalities and differences among three design disciplines: landscape architecture, architecture, and interior design. Registered students who are absent from the first meeting may jeopardize participation in the studio. Students are strongly advised to take FND3033 Visual Thinking concurrently with this studio.
