ARPL 557 The Digital Designed Object
This course explores the use of computer applications in the design of smaller-scale objects, exhibits and interiors, with an emphasis on materiality, function, structure and presentation. Students will explore specific aspects of an assigned object or interior space such as materials usage, assembly, production & marketing, and presentation. They will propose new design ideas and reinterpret the studied object or space in more current language using exclusively digital media. Students' study and production of realistic renderings and sophisticated graphic presentations will be a major part of each project.
