            Introduction to Design
          
        
        
          is the first course
        
        
          in the Foundation curriculum. As a prac-
        
        
          tice-based studio it provides a general
        
        
          introduction to design and three areas of
        
        
          specialization: Product Design, Interaction
        
        
          Design and Interdisciplinary Design. It also
        
        
          provides inspiration for the upcoming study.
        
        
          The assignments introduce 2D and 3D
        
        
          design methods. In addition the  students
        
        
          are taught freehand drawing, material
        
        
          techonology and architectural and design
        
        
          history up to 1900.

            Introduction to Design: The Fields We Teach
          
        
        
          is
        
        
          the second part of the basic course in design,
        
        
          and builds on knowledge gained from the
        
        
          first semester course. As a  rehearsal- and
        
        
          practice-based course it continues the
        
        
          general introduction into design and into the
        
        
          three areas of specialisation: Product Design,
        
        
          Interaction Design and Interdisciplinary
        
        
          Design. It also encourages students to look
        
        
          toward a long design project. In addition,
        
        
          students are taught digital drawing, material
        
        
          technology II and modern architectural and
        
        
          design history from 1900 until today.
