CRN: 37275

Instructor: Janos Stone

A hands-on, recongurable, customizable and modular product prototyping experience. Modular Design is a hands-on, design-to-prototype experience, that interweaves 3D technologies, 3D form theory with recongurable, customizable and modular design principles for ecient product and environmental design. We will combine our inherent understanding of the physical world with research into the use of 3D technology/theory, appropriation and customization to create powerful tools for modular design. We will explore contemporary ornamentation, 3D scanning/photogrammetry and traditional tools in order to create new ways to think about modular design. We will build functional product prototypes and environments. We will create these products and environments using form inspired by the physical world, to allow our designs to speak directly to the inherent, fundamental aspects of our shared humanity. We will use iteration and group discussion to rene our product development and process. We will study recongurable, customizable and modular design processes in order to create; interactive and multi-function products and spaces, reduce design time and cost, leverage economies of scale, utilize mass produced (factory) production, be conscious of recycling and material conservation. Sophomore standing or above Instructor’s permission is required for the course. Interested students, please email instructor prior to registration.

Instructor: Ernesto Aparicio

This course will cover all aspects of designing comprehensive art and photographic books. We will be editing images and examining the use of type, grids, scale, and pacing in the overall layout. Particular attention will be paid to certain elements of design production, including the visual, tactile, and aesthetic qualities of paper, printing, binding, color separation, and advanced techniques in reproduction, namely duotone and tritone in black and white photography.In the first part of the semester students will design the layout and the corresponding dust jacket for a photographic book. The material will include a number of original black and white photographs from one of the very well known French photographers. In the second part of the semester, students will be given the choice between designing a book based on their own interests or completing a book design project using assigned material.
