DESN 101 - Principles of Design I

Credits: 3
This course combines the history of design from the industrial revolution to the present with practicable knowledge and exercises in scale and proportion through two and three dimensional drawing and/or building problems. Students will explore influences of past design on our present culture through projects including architectural, interior design, and furniture design concepts. Emphasis will be placed on the refinement of sketching and mechanical drawing to realize individual ideas. Projects will explore relationships between historical and cultural special systems and the relationship to the human proportion. Students will be expected to develop a complete original design concept and to articulate the development of that visual concept within the historical framework.
