1.00 PDH, LA CES/HSW, AIA/HSW, AICP, FL, NY/HSW

From study models to 3D printing to augmented reality, design is a process of ideation, iteration, and testing through multiple scales and media. This session explores the importance of making at all stages of the design process, from mockups, prototyping, and fabrication to installation.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand how the process of prototyping contributes to the design process.
  • Understand how mockups can mitigate risk in design practice.
  • Evaluate different methods of testing ideas in the design process.
  • Understand how different firms have built mockup and prototyping processes into contracts and office budgets.
