INTER400 Studio Practice 5

This senior level studio class addresses issues engendered by relationships among the design disciplines, architecture, visual art practice, media and technological progress, intellectual and scientific theory, and the contemporary cultural climate. The selection of topics is intended to energize conceptual ideation and theoretical consideration. Students are encouraged to push the conventional boundaries for each discipline to more fully consider innumerable approaches to a creative project and/or engage collaboratively in approaching a design problem and produce an innovative visualization. This studio is intended to be the most advanced studio of the program and the most demanding for the students. In general, all the design skills learned in prior studios will be involved in the generation of a design for a complex studio problem that engages a current cultural/theoretical issue. Advanced complexity also means unusual and exciting uses of visual communication, models, and materials.
