Conditional Design

3 units

New technology changes the way we receive, consume, and interact with information. Making work that can adapt to its context, environment, and user's preferences is a vital skill for artists and designers. This studio course explores the design and development of adaptive design systems to generate customizable and variable outputs. Through projects, readings, presentations, and discussions, students explore the use of procedural process, logic, and variable input to generate forms and experiences in both physical and digital space. Projects will cover traditional and digital mediums ranging from generative books and posters to interactive websites and performative experiences.
