Thesis Highlights
Prototyping Solutions
This upper-level course draws upon foundational design skills from studio prerequisites to explore form-making through physical prototypes. Students will first analyze an archetype (e.g, stool, table, sawhorse), then will work to develop concepts, uses, and formal qualities to be tested on their own design. The iterative process will include material studies, physical and digital model-making, and constructed fabrication drawings that inform individual projects at full scale. Understanding design as inseparable from making is central to this course. The final builds are simultaneously a studied work and an object for refinement.
