This 10-week program teaches the principles of design thinking, advanced manufacturing, and rapid prototyping in the context of shaping public spaces. It is ideally suited for artists, designers, engineers and creatives looking to augment their talent with digital skills to make a mark on their city. Students will learn fundamental design concepts and CAD/CAM techniques and how to apply them to solve urban challenges with alternative creative solutions. Upon course completion, students will be able to develop and build a three-dimensional prototype of their designs.
