TOPICS: DESIGNING PARIS in Summer 2025 (AR1091)

This introductive design class is for students with little or no previous experience in design. Talking about Paris, the first step is to make them able to anderstand and follow the the process to realise it an innovated design. Consequently, we will start by analysing and making everyone realise what they are interested in Paris, what especialy strikes them about the town. This will be the subject of personal analyses followed by a broad discussion between the participants.

Since design is a creative, yet pragmatic, technical, and technological profession, we will quickly move on to practical application. Students will then be introduced to computer tools such as the Adobe suite and encouraged to explore the advantages and disadvantages of AI to shape and create expressive and innovative designs capable of attracting clients.

The primary goal of this class is to provide students with the foundations of design, both creatively and technologically. This course will allow students to discover, evaluate, and experiment with their creative and digital power around a given topic.
