Design Studio 3 - Analysing Design Principles - SDES1102

This course extends the study of fundamental design principles. The relationship between two-dimensional and three- dimensional representation of form and space is examined through a series of process exercises and projects. Students are introduced to concepts of constructing and de-constructing form as well as relationships between form and function. The studies of Design Studio 1A are progressed to analyse designed objects, environments and graphics as well as the processes of designers and their practice. Students are required to respond to the projects contained within this course using both two-dimensional and three-dimensional techniques to communicate their creativity and resolutions. Further understanding of the design process is encouraged by placing emphasis on extended development of concepts as well as methods and techniques for presenting design solutions.
