Credits: 3

This course allows students to further develop 2D and 3D design skills and practices within the context of the discipline, and to build on the skills introduced in Design Studio 1. In the second course of a four-course core sequence, students will be moving towards competency in the application of design and research processes, while seeking appropriate technical 3D solutions. Students will then continue to refine their approaches in regard to primary research and balancing the technical with the aesthetic. Design Studio 2 works collaboratively with Visual Communication Studio 2 and Creative Technical Studio 2.

The Materiality pathway enables students to focus on the application of material and textile innovation to fashion design in relation to the body and beyond. Courses aim to help students generate new possibilities for fashion with a focus on craft with a highly specialized approach to textile innovation, including dyeing, print, technology, weave and knit, as drivers for design. Deep exploration in terms of research towards unexpected outcomes in both apparel and non-apparel are encouraged.
