Design Studio 1

Students investigate design fundamentals including design vocabulary; design process; creative problem-solving; theories of two- and three- dimensional design; relationships of form and space; spatial definition and organization; color terminology and principles; and the impact of the built environment on human experience, behavior, and performance. Assignments reinforce concepts of graphic and oral communication in design. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

Design Communication 1

An introduction to digital and hand media utilized as a tool for design communication and ideation. Fundamentals of visual and graphic representation of design language. Emphasis on sketching, orthographic, axonometric and perspective drawings and renderings. Students are introduced to the value and skill of hand sketching, hand lettering, foundations of architectural drawings (plan, section, elevation), perspective, parti development & hand rendering. Introduction to 2D and 3D drafting and modeling software.

History And Theory 1

Topical and chronological explorations of two-dimensional and three- dimensional forms of design as expression of human values. Students investigate principles and elements of design, scale, materials, light and color, and experience as lenses to understand the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of design. Lectures, visuals, readings, discussions, historical analysis, research and field trips. The course requires some out of class field trips with corresponding expenses.

Design Studio 3

Students apply the design process and creative problem-solving to a variety of learning and teaching environments and educational facilities of varying scales of complexity. Students focus on relationships of spatial definition and organization as they relate to human interaction with the built-environment and design elements and principles. Students investigate design decisions within the context of ecological, socio- economic and cultural contexts. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

Design Communication 3

Students explore hand and digital approaches to drafting; two- dimensional and three-dimensional images and models; as well as image processing and publishing. Students visualize graphic representation of drawings and models as they relate to the interior design profession.
