FYS 109 Understanding Design

We are surrounded by spaces and objects that were designed to serve one or more purposes, but not all designs are successful. By learning about what makes the design of a space or object successful and by looking closely at the designs we encounter, we can gain a new understanding and appreciation for the ordinary and extraordinary objects and places in our lives. In this seminar course, students use sketching, writing, reading, and discussion to develop their ability to observe, describe, and evaluate the designs we encounter in our everyday lives.
