WFD 3020 - Design Studio III: Chairs
Credit(s): 6
Students will learn to design and build a well-made, quality side chair. The chair must be aesthetically pleasing from all sides, incorporate compound angle joinery, and be comfortable and well-proportioned. Students will begin their design process by researching current and historical chair designs, and creating sketches of three potential designs. The final design chosen can be a durivative but not a copy of a classic chair, or a coherent blend of design elements from a number of styles to create something more unique. Students will hand draft full-scale drawings, proof out joint samples used in the design, build a full-scale mock-up that they can sit in and modify, and present all of this on week five at the design critique. Throughout the course there will be classes on various techniques used in chair construction.
