3D Printed Lighting Fixture

In this project students design and 3D print a Light fixture for a dorm room. Students were exposed to the concept to completion workflow, where they achieved a tangible final outcome of the product they designed.

Virtual Reality Design Exploration

In these design studios, students use Virtual Reality (VR) for design exploration while designing as well as for design critiques. These allow them the ability to make the reviewer experience the spaces that they designed.
