RE:DUX ELEMENTS: THE COLUMN | Free Summer Studio
Event Date: Aug 9, 2021 - Aug 28, 2021; Event City: Introduction:Despite being contemporary, the foundation of design is embedded in history. The elements of everyday architecture have their roots in ancient societies and the artisans that produced them. The floors, doors, walls, and columns are all examples of elements that bridge across cultures and time. In this foundation design studio, we will study the ever-existing element: The Column. We will use the columns as the object of focus in a series of assignments, increasing in complexity and scale, in order to develop our own design language while familiarizing ourselves with hand-drawings and transitioning them to computer aided design. The goal of this 3-week studio is to explore the complexities of analyzing, visualizing, and conceptualizing design and learning to express it coherently in a well composed form. This is a virtual studio and will be hosted via zoom. If selected, it is mandatory to attend all sessions. The Class Timings are as follows: Week 1: 9th August 2021 7:00pm to 8:00 pm EST 13th August 2021 6:00pm to 7:00 pm EST Week 2: 16th August 2021 7:00pm to 8:00 pm EST 20th August 2021 6:00pm to 7:00 pm EST Week 3: 23rd August 2021 7:00pm to 8:00 pm EST 27th August 2021 6:00pm to 7:00 pm EST While the is a free studio, seats are limited.
