PRD 120 - FORM STUDIO

College of Design

Credit(s): 5

The Form Studio is an introduction to the studio discipline of design where students develop a broad understanding of all design disciplines through overarching elements and principles that connect them. We will address basic elements of design visually, conceptually, and haptically. We will focus on the process of design, discover through experimentation, develop aesthetic judgment, and find means of self- evaluation. Expect a focus on intellectual discipline, dialogue, assertion of interest, and a self-motivated search for critical issues. Studies will include 2D and 3D exercises, emphasizing materials, fabrication processes, prototype iteration, PRD 120 is taught in conjunction with PRD 115 and PRD 116, Form Workshops I & II.
