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 - Structure I (4) and ART 102 - Structure II (4). 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 pre-architecture or interior design only. Technical/studio format. Prereqs: ART 101, ART 102, ART 221, and ART 231. Recommended Coreqs: IARC 220 and IARC 221. Offered: Fall.
