The studio will introduce the design process to find solutions in different domains of work,home and other spaces . The modules in the studio will enhance the learning of materials( Non - metals), manufacturing processes and human factors. Students will address the historical context of their designs as they practice critical thinking, research, problem solving, and aesthetic refinement.Projects will require sketches, models, written reports and verbal presentations of design concepts. Students will be required to present their individual creative process through the exploration and manipulation of materials and methods to express a visual response to a theme or content.
