3D Design Development Short Course

The 3D Design Development Short Course combines both practical and theoretical elements to give students an understanding of the important process of design development. During this two-day course, students learn how to seek out inspiration to suit any given design brief and use it to begin investigating 3D forms and spaces. Students look at other artists’ and designers’ work and learn how to apply research to their practice. The course covers methods of experimentation, applying research to practice, sketching, physical 3D modelling and presentation and communication. Students present their work to the group and learn how to effectively communicate their design thinking. By the end of the course, students should be able to use a breadth of research and design experimentation to influence their design process and inform the final output. They should also be able to clearly and confidently communicate the process and rationale behind their designs.
