Design Fundamentals I

Catalog description

This studio course develops drawing and model-making skills with emphasis on digital representation and digital fabrication. The capacity of nature-inspired design is explored as a foundation for the creative production of new forms of expression. As the second course in the five-semester cumulative sequence of required design studios, ARCH 2010 is preceded by ARCH 1020 , an exploration of orthogonal geometry and orthographic and axonometric projection. ARCH 2010 focuses on the non-orthogonal geometries of animate form as the basis for the development of analogical and prototypical structures utilizing 3D digital modeling software and digital fabrication. In ARCH 2020 , the design studio following ARCH 2010 , students explore the movement of the body as a basis for design.
