TA: Darshi Kapadia - VFExpeditions in Digital Technologies
The studio aims to develop an integrated design pedagogy that evolves into an ‘iterate, immerse, and build’ framework. This will then be applied to the design and construction of a product or furniture through the use of computational techniques and material systems. The exploration of emerging technologies and digital fabrication processes has opened new possibilities for creative expression. Recently, computational workflows—combining design iteration tools, immersive techniques for experiential design, and additive manufacturing for construction—have gained significant momentum. The studio will equip students with skills in coding, augmented reality, and digital fabrication, enabling them to design, analyze, develop, and construct scaled prototypes. The studio is divided into three modules—Exploration, Application, and Making—with each module focused on fostering digital, analytical, immersive, and hands-on learning skills.
