IARC 251 - Design Fundamentals I (4)

A transitional interior architecture/design studio course that builds upon the fundamental principles and elements of design introduced in ART 101 and ART 102. This course explores three-dimensional design composition generated from two-dimensional expressions. Initially conceptual and abstract in nature, the process moves the student toward a rational design solution as it relates to space design and the habitable environment, exploring spatial composition and transformation, progression, perception and sequence, light, color, and materiality. For majors in interior design only. Technical/studio format. Prereqs: ART 101, ART 102, ART 120, and ART 230. Recommended Co-reqs: IARC 220 and IARC 221. Offered: Fall.
