Conceptual: Interior Spatial Volumes and Form making
Taught with Professor Nicole Koltick
OBJECTIVES
Students explored analog and digital methods of design ideation and representation through a series of spatial propositions that empower them to think critically about the role of conceptual design narratives and how they contribute to design development. Throughout the course students develop an attitude about design that arises from observation, analysis, research and extensive iteration in both drawing and models and further their understanding of the nuance and subtlety of spatial design through a series of design opportunities focusing on threshold, procession, and contemplation.
Creative Representation and Hybrid Visualization Techniques
OBJECTIVES
Students develop competency in computer generated orthographic drawings using AutoCAD and 3-D Modeling using SketchUp Pro to understand the workflow process in transitioning from multiple computer programs. Students are able to produce competent presentation drawings across a range of appropriate media and apply a variety of communication techniques and technologies appropriate to a range of purposes and audiences to develop a personal graphic style that informs the production of computer generated drawings and imagery.

Introduction to Graphic Representation for Interior Design
OBJECTIVES
Students develop an understanding of the fundamentals of visual communication and employ a variety of communication techniques appropriate for a range of purposes, audiences, and contexts. They also learn a design vocabulary that will encourage discussion and productive discourse around the media products they produce while cultivating a graphic identity through custom graphic pattern development, logo design, and branding vision.
