ENVD 1010 - Studio 1: Introduction to Environmental Products of Design
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022
Introduces students to concepts and techniques related to the design of products at a human scale. In an immersive project-based studio environment students develop the foundation of design communication and thinking through a series of hands-on projects with physical outcomes. Course is part of a co-requisite sequence: ENVD 1010, Studio 1: Introduction to Environmental Products of Design is taken the first 7-weeks of the semester, followed by ENVD 1020, Studio 1: Introduction to Architecture, taken in the second 7-weeks of the semester, along with ENVD 1002, Technology 1: Applications for Environmental Design, a 14-week class that is taught alongside the two 7-week studios.
ENVD 1110 - Studio 2: Fundamentals of Environmental Design 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2021 / Fall 2024
Explores the core principles shared across environmental design disciplines, including Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Product Design, and Sustainable Planning and Urban Design. Through a multidisciplinary studio approach, students engage in spatial problem-solving, sustainable design strategies, peer-to-peer collaboration, and design thinking. Hands-on projects challenge students to apply foundational tools and methods to real-world challenges, considering social, environmental, and cultural impacts in both built and natural environments.�Course is part of a co-requisite sequence: ENVD 1110, Studio 2: Fundamentals of Environmental Design 1, taken the first 7-weeks of the semester, followed by ENVD 1120, Studio 2: Fundamentals of Design 2, taken in the second 7-weeks of the semester, along with ENVD 1022, Technology 3: Intermediate Applications for Environmental Design, a 14-week class that is taught alongside the two 7-week studios.
