Printed Matter(s)+
Kelly Bair
Mondays 10:00-2:45pm in room 3109, CRN 30240
Printed Matter(s)+ is an architectural technology seminar centered at the intersection of traditional building construction materials and methods (wood framing/concrete casting, etc.) and more advanced manufacturing (3d printing, formwork & casting, etc). The seminar will commence with research on additive manufacturing (large format 3d printing) and then further develop it through the design and analog/digital fabrication of prototype models. Student research, project modeling and image making will constitute the majority of coursework; therefore, familiarity with the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design) and Rhino 3d modeling/drawing is required. Experience with analog or digital methods of model making is not required.

--
24 credits needed
- You may take more than two DES 520s but you must take at least two.
- DES 520s may also count as electives and all of these six courses could be DES 520s.
- The other four electives must be 400-level or higher courses.
- Two of the four electives must be CADA classes.
- The other two can be any 400-level or higher class at UIC.
You will need approval to register for any 400-level course. Please remember that the School of Design cannot give approvals for any class that is not a Design (DES) class—not even if the class is in CADA. If you wish to take an elective outside the School of Design, you will need to contact the professor who teaches the class for permission.
Please also remember that when the School of Design submits approval for you to register for a class, that process does not actually register you for the class. Once you have approval, you still need to manually register yourself for the course. Receiving approval to register for a class does not reserve a seat in the class.
