DS1100 Transversal Studio: Form & Space

In this course, you will develop essential skills in conceptualization and visualization working with 3-dimensional space and form-making. You will learn to visualize ideas through conceptualization, formulation and design development of objects, spaces, and experiences.

This includes building a fundamental understanding of visual elements and principles, and through both structured and experimental assignments to achieve creative outcomes. The assignments spans a range of interdisciplinary domains, requiring you to engage in immersive and iterative investigations and problem-solving using both digital and analogue approaches. You will be guided by relevant historical, cultural, and philosophical precedents while adopting appropriate tools, attitudes, and sensitivities to organize differing physical, spatial, and temporal characteristics in your work.

By the end of the course, you will gain a strong visual vocabulary, a critical foundation in material and spatial reasoning, and the ability to translate ideas into physical and digital form.

This course is ideal for students curious about the Transversal Design (Object and Interaction) pathway, or if you wish to pursue future work in product design, spatial design, creative technology, or systems-based innovation.
