SXD-104: Materials and Making

This course offers an introduction to the materials and processes that inform our spatial experience through the investigation of interdisciplinary techniques and methods of making. Through a series of model making explorations, students will analyze appropriate scalar shifts and material constructs within a conceptual model. Once a fundamental understanding of scale and representation has been established, students will integrate material research and fabrication techniques towards creating a tangible model of spatial experience. The course will conclude with an interdisciplinary group exhibition that showcases each student?s understanding of model making explorations, material representation, and fabrication techniques.
