SUMMER INTENSIVE STUDIES NEW YORK architectural design: digital and physical model making college/adult session I (June 1 19) PNNY 2205 Section A Today s architect must have experience with digital and physical making as well as the language to work between both spaces. Digital modeling has evolved to become more than just another design tool. It is a device for enabling innovative project development. While there is a new focus on digital technology, physical model making also continues to be a crucial component of design. It has become increasingly reliant on a hybrid of hand fabrication and digital outputting, often combining processes to mimic the construction process. This course is designed to help students develop these model-making skills. It offers students a collaborative environment in which they can work together constructing architectural models. architectural design studio pre-college PNNY 1201 Section C Students develop an understanding of the basic vocabulary of architectural design and apply these concepts through individual and collaborative studio projects. They experiment with the architectural design process by investigating scale, space, and systems found in the constructed environment. Technical drawing and 3D modelmaking techniques are introduced. design and management college/adult session I (June 1 19) PNNY 2301 Section A college/adult session II PNNY 2301 Section B pre-college PNNY 1301 Section C This project-based course introduces information theory and the various means of visually representing the world, with the aim of uncovering hidden realities and effects. Throughout the course, students explore, analyze, and reconfigure quantitative and qualitative data and use fundamental graphic principles to present their findings. Students engage with mapping as a creative activity that sets the stage for planning design interventions. design and management: business models and entrepreneurial strategies college/adult session II PNNY 2302 Section B In this course, students develop an understanding of the interrelationships between business model components and the ability to ask the questions and conduct the research that will enable them to start a business and/ or appraise business plans. Students identify the resources needed for their interventions and the associated costs, choose an operational configuration, and develop market entry strategies and launching plans to actualize their projects. Students must bring a current project or be prepared to take on a hypothetical brief for the duration of the class. Registered students should send a CV and a paragraph about their previous experience and a project they would like to focus on in the class. An with the subject line Business Models and Entrepreneurial Strategies Applicant and including these details should be sent to summer@newschool. edu upon registration for the course. design process college/adult session I (June 1 19) PNNY 2111 Section A In this course, students explore the design process and the fundamental visual principles integral to all fields of design. They learn how to conduct design research, produce a series of concepts, execute a final project, and present their work professionally. Project outcomes can take the form of graphic design, typography, photography, bookbinding, and 3D design. Design history is explored through research inspired by the project assignments. design studio pre-college PNNY 1115 Section C If you are interested in learning more about the world of design or are planning to apply to an art and design school, Design Studio is for you. The criteria for admission to many of today s most competitive art and design schools are changing. Students are now expected to display their work along with careful documentation of the entire design process. It is no longer enough to present a beautiful finished work of art; you must demonstrate how you formulate ideas, make decisions, and solve problems. This course introduces students to Parsons design methodology, including research, concept development, sketching and prototyping, iterative project development, and written reflection. Students then apply this process to projects in which they explore 26

27 disciplines including fashion, product, and graphic design. Students are also introduced to the fundamentals of drawing and are encouraged to experiment with sketching and illustration techniques, using digital tools in Adobe Creative Suite, digital photography, and 3D materials and processes.

A variety of construction methods are explored, from hand and machine sewing to knitting, crocheting, draping, and patternmaking. Drawing and sketching are introduced as an integral part of the design process, allowing students to develop concepts in two dimensions before they begin making. Transposing visual ideas from sketching to fabricating, 2D to 3D, students are free to explore the techniques of patternmaking or draping to create the structure for their designs. Students familiarize themselves with design process methods through the development of a design sketchbook documenting research, fabric development, sketches inspirations, and reflections.
