SXD-202: Spatial Design 3

This studio explores conceptual strategies in the development of a design idea. Emphasis is on the formal, experiential and material issues inherent in cultivating a design sensibility or language. Projects given range in topic, but are Interior in nature, integrating the design and articulation of space, furniture, materials, lighting, display and graphics. Working with a prescribed hypothetical client, students are challenged to reinterpret a brand identity. Students will learn to generate design solutions that are both conceptually innovative and commercially viable. Students are challenged to explore an idea intellectually and intuitively. Through conceptual exercises, students explore ways of building a foundation on which to begin the design process.
