Instructional Method
Academic Level
Fabrication Innovation Furniture 2 will now build on an advanced digital toolset with a deeper understanding of traditional fabrication techniques. Students will utilize this comprehensive prototyping workflow to meet the demands of modern furniture design. Through a greater and more intimate relationship with such tools, students will be pushed to develop personal and unique processes in problem solving resulting in a more personal point of view ultimately reflected in their final designs. With innovation as the driver, Students will continue to develop their skills in 3 key areas to answer the challenges of modern furniture design. By utilizing advanced modeling techniques informed by real world constraints in structure and manufacturing processes, students will learn iteration techniques in direct modeling workflows in addition to non-destructive, procedurally driven parametric workflows. In rendering, students will develop specific workflows needed to create highly photo-realistic images necessary for design proposals and presentations that effectively communicate the strengths of the designs both in still shot renderings and real-time cinematics. Through real-world fabrication students will explore traditional and experimental prototyping techniques along with expanding their material and process vocabulary both to construct their design into a full scale finished prototype and simultaneously further inform their 3d modeling skills.
