DESN 311: 3D Core Design Studio IV

This team-taught theme-based design studio allows for varying degrees of concentration in 3D and 4D Design studies. Community-based and collaborative projects enable students to identify appropriate and preferred design practices, and synthesize these design approaches within product, furniture, digital media, interaction, and environmental contexts. Core design skills from previous semesters are the basis for innovative and creative risk-taking that embraces the design process and expands terrain between disciplines including: design research, marketing, ethnographic considerations; conceptual and creative skills; participatory design, cognitive and usability factors; writing for proposals and reports; oral presentations and visualization. Some of the project work is collaborative, including the possibility of working with non-Design majors, developing students' multidisciplinary, team working and project management skills.

Priority is given to INDD students in Year 3. Students outside of the registration priority group may register/waitlist for this course as of the registration rule release date.
