Industrial Design
In this studio, students were challenged to view their world from new perspectives and develop solutions to everyday issues in their own creative ways.Students explored multiple stages of the industrial design process, from drawing and prototyping to digital (CAD) modelling and laser cutting. Honing these skills along with principles of accessibility, feasibility, and ecological practices, they created elegant light fixtures for their final projects.
