Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: By reducing the scale of our efforts from architecture down to product design, and through a series of field trips to material suppliers, manufacturing facilities, and retail environments, this class will explore a means of producing designs that will directly enter the market. We will develop a complete design and production process in which students will be asked to not only create a prototype household object, but also to make that object in quantity and introduce it into the retail world for consumption. As a means of testing the success of these designs, all of the products will be for sale at Sunset Settings following the completion of the course. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: ARCH 612.
