This document provides an overview of three-dimensional design, including its definition, key concepts, and the relationship between form, function, and aesthetics. It emphasizes the importance of model making, sustainability, and the role of design in enhancing built environments. Students are expected to develop skills in 3D design, ethical practices, and creative thinking by the end of the course.

- 1. Introduction to Three- Dimensional Design Exploring Form, Space, and Creativity
- 2. What is Three-Dimensional Design? Definition: Three-dimensional design is the creation of objects or forms that occupy physical space, incorporating height, width, and depth. Second level Purpose: Is to explore the relationship between form, function, and aesthetics in both artistic and practical contexts. Examples: Product design, architecture, sculpture, furniture, and environmental design.
- 3. Key Concepts in 3D Design There are 5 main keys concepts Form: The shape and structure of an object. Space: The area around, within, or between forms. Function: The purpose or utility of a design. Materials: The physical substances used to create forms (e.g., wood, metal, clay, plastic). Processes: Techniques like carving, molding, assembling, and 3D printing.
- 4. The Importance of Model Making Why Model Making? - Translates ideas from 2D sketches to tangible 3D forms. - Helps test functionality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. - Encourages hands-on experimentation with materials and techniques. Materials to Explore this semester: - Paper, clay, foam, Gypsum, Junk and digital tools (e.g., 3D printing).
- 5. Form and Function Relationship: - How does the shape of an object influence its purpose? - Balancing aesthetics with practicality. Examples: - A chair’s design must be visually appealing while providing comfort and support. - A building’s form must align with its intended use and environmental context.
- 6. Ethical Practice in 3D Design Sustainability: - Using eco-friendly materials and processes. - Designing for longevity and recyclability. Social Responsibility: - Creating designs that improve quality of life. - Considering cultural and environmental impacts.
- 7. The Role of Design in the Built Environment What is the Built Environment? - Human-made spaces like buildings, parks, and urban landscapes. Design’s Role: - Enhancing functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. - Creating products/spaces that inspire and serve communities.
- 8. 2D Visualization vs. 3D Practice 2D Visualization: - Sketches, drawings, and digital renderings. - Helps plan and communicate ideas. 3D Practice: - Brings ideas to life through physical or digital models. - Develops spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.
- 9. Workshops Practice Hands-On Learning: - Experiment with materials and techniques. - Collaborate with peers to solve design challenges. Outcomes: - Develop a portfolio of 3D designs. - Gain confidence in creating functional and innovative forms.
- 10. Enhancing Creativity and Imagination Creative Thinking: - Pushing boundaries to explore new ideas. - Combining art, science, and technology. Imagination: - Visualizing possibilities beyond the ordinary. - Experimenting with unconventional materials and forms.
- 11. Learning Outcomes By the end of this unit, students will: 1. Understand the principles of 3D form and space. 2. Develop skills in model making and material exploration. 3. Create functional and aesthetically pleasing designs. 4. Apply ethical and sustainable practices in their work. 5. Enhance their creative and imaginative capabilities.
