IDES 624 Figuring Space 1: Materiality and Making
This course provides an exploration of the impact of materiality and fabrication in both the general and reading of form and space. An intuitive knowledge of material properties and processes will be gained through detailing, construction and fabrication methods, with a concentration on the application of materials in custom elements relating to the body in scale or use. Formal, conceptual, and programmatic solutions are studied through a specific design strategy with an emphasis on new or hybrid programs.
