Join us in November as we explore the architecture and design of the UK-based Heatherwick Studio. During this workshop, students will be inspired by the museum’s current exhibition on Heatherwick Studio to create three-dimensional prototypes that solve real-world design challenges. Students will engage with the important process of prototyping and apply this to their own work.
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
- Study and draw inspiration from the collection of Cooper Hewitt.
- Understand the design process.
- Work with and learn from professional designers.
- Engage in collaborative discussion.
- Create and develop a varied body of work.
- Learn to present and discuss work.
