| This lecture course introduces students to aspects of design that appear to have grown from a natural and traditional expression, without the benefit of a professional designer. Through an examination of indigenous and vernacular materials used in traditional design, connections between cultures rather than their separateness are emphasized. Both the historical influences of the vernacular in design and the economic and cultural factors that have led to its revival in a contemporary global context are discussed. |

| Anti-requisite: Students who have taken ACAD 2B12, VISC 2B12 or VISC 3B48 may not take this course for further credit. |
