Taught By: Neva Kocic
Section: AA

CRN: 7024

Credits: 3

In this course, we will explore hands-on design and 21st century making methods. Through iterative investigations of practical form in space, students in this course will mix analysis of three-dimensional design and prototyping while exploring construction techniques as they are paired with cutting edge computer modeling. A series of projects will be realized through parametric digital design drawing and rendering, each culminating in resolute outcomes that phase through the multiple labs in the Parsons Making Center.

Open to: Students in the BFA Integrated Design major.
