This course will introduce students to a conceptual approach to the design of form and environment, with a special focus on design at a smaller human scale. The positive support of a person's intimate interaction with and utilization of space and object, as well as its impact on space and form, will be studied through careful review of spatial components and ergonomics. Emphasis will be on three-dimensional design and will require the student to develop, build and present models of their work. The course will be delivered using lectures, in-class discussions and one-on-one consultations and critiques. All assignments require research and presentations that include verbal, written and visual components. Student performance will be evaluated on the basis of successful completion of assignments.
