  Foundation Design Laboratory (Studio)
  Foundation Design Lab is an immersive, interactive learning environment focused on inquiry, experimentation, discovery and synthesis. The design lab develops self-reliance and self-critique, opens intellectual horizons and challenges students to continually expand and deepen their aesthetic judgement and critical understanding. Studies are undertaken in two and three dimensions across multiple scales and using a variety of materials and tools.
  
  This course provides a comprehensive overview of basic design concepts as well as the means to systematically explore those ideas through visual, physical and verbal modes of communication.
