| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to understand three-dimensional modeling, different possibilities of digital tools for the interior design process, to present basic design ideas in both technical and conceptual precision using digital tools, parametric design and fabrication methods. | ||||
| Course Description | This studio course concentrates on experimentation with digital design and fabrication techniques as a means of generating atmospheric effects. The digital techniques such as image sampler, contouring, folding, unfolding, tessellating, subdividing, 3-d printing will be introduced to students during the course. The students will produce the digital data for the fabrication during the class. Then, they select materials and fabricate the digital file. Later, they question the atmosphere when they are assembling the fabricated pieces. Thus, they interpret and transform the fabricated pieces in line with the design concept and program they developed. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand the basic concepts of parametric design; 2) understand different possibilities of digital tools for the interior design process; 3) envision designed atmosphere in different scales; 4) comprehend role of detail and materials in design. |
