Digital/Physical Modelmaking
Fall 2023
Taught By: Alonso Ortega
Section: A

CRN: 12403

Credits: 3

Designers use digital and physical modeling techniques to discover new spatial opportunities in architecture and interiors. Physical modeling allows designers to explore spatial relationships, make observations of volumetric interactions with surfaces and light, and test three-dimensional effects. Digital modeling enables further project development with 3D visualization of light, color, materials, spatial relationships, and details, while augmented and virtual reality explores new ways to experience spatial design. This class will build upon knowledge gained from Representation and Analysis to dig deeper into what is possible with the combination of digital, physical, virtual, and augmented representation.

Open to: All university undergraduate students. Pre-requisite(s): PUFY 1020 Space/Materiality or PAID 1030 Drawing Interiors: 2D.
This class requires the use of Rhino, and students should be comfortable modeling in 3D with this software before joining this class.
