DIGITAL MODELING
Course Description
In this course, students will be given the opportunity to learn three-dimensional composition of modules, basic form and volume principles, and form-based (three-dimensional) operational and ordering strategies. A big focus is the relationships between form and space with basic ingredients such as planes, surfaces, masses, and volumes. You will have the opportunity to produce physical and digital working models of your module studies as well as generating plan and section drawing types.
