Parsons School of Design

Models Mockups and Prototypes

Michael Verbos

This course aims to educate students to shop etiquette and culture and instruct appropriate and safe use of hand and power tools/machines in construction classrooms. This course supports design-build processes in core studios throughout the entire program sequence. This course is integrated with the design studio with various project touch points. Focus is on hands-on full-scale and scaled making, choosing an appropriate modeling method for the intended purpose, experimentation versus planning, trial and error process documentation, and an introduction to rapid-prototyping and outsourced fabrication. Course work is done in construction classrooms.
