Material & Experience (Transparence)
This Self-Paced Design Studio by Ar. Mahesh Radhakrishnan is about exploring usage of any material/surface/texture as a starting point and allowing the materiality of the space to define the experience within it.
This is an online course where individual learners can enjoy a learn-at-your-pace system. The entire course is divided into 4 modules. Every module is divided into multiple short lectures of 7-15 minutes. Modules consist of assignments, MCQs, additional resources and an interactive interface that will enrich the student’s learning experience.
If you find yourself saying yes to most things alongside, then this course is for you!
Are you tired of the visual sense overpowering designs?
Do you wish to explore tactile qualities of spaces?
Do you want to learn to communicate with materials and extract their qualities for the perfect union of form and experience?
Do you wish to explore spatial quality through scale, proportion, light and movement?
