GRID 703 - Advanced Design Studio

The major multidisciplinary studio where design ideology, process, development, and production are emphasized through a collaboration with one of MID’s strategic industry partners. Project teams will combine first and second year students. First year students will be introduced to the MID design culture and second year students will have the opportunity to further improve their abilities to apply the design process while acting in a leadership role. Issues discussed and studied are: learning and design process informed by applied design research, communicated through clearly designed information, and driven by collaborative design development. The design process considers above issues in the formulation of a design program; conceptional abstract studies; physical and material investigations; simulated and physical representation; and the application of manufacturing. Specific design skill sets covered in GRID 604, Design Methods I, complement this studio’s projects.
