Graduate: Core Design Gallery
This selection of student design work was created during the Core Design sequence. During these courses, students build portfolios of design work which they submit for faculty review before advancing into the Advanced Design sequence.
Core Design 1
Core Design 1 focuses on design abstractions and analysis of the factors influencing conceptual design. Emphasis is placed on ordering principles, pattern recognition and utilization, and figure-ground relationships.
