Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students learn step-by-step a system for constructing very strong, glueless 'nets', which enable constructing any 3D form made of polygons (a 'net' is the shape of the card when a 3D package is unfolded flat).

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    A folding system for creating experimental packaging forms and 3D polyhedrons.
    The one-week intensive workshop is entirely hands-on.
    Techniques move gradually towards higher complexity, so missing days is not advised.

     

     

  • Applies in this implementation:

    This course is organized partially online. Lectures from Paul Jackson
    via zoom, but physical materials and equipment that will be used are in
    class.
