Online course by Node Center with Iohanna Nicenboim
We are very pleased at Node to offer for the first time, a six week long course in Exhibition Design.
This course examines the planning and designing of three-dimensional spaces which encourage visitor’s understanding, participation, and engagement.
Within a user-centered perspective and applying design thinking methods, you will have the chance observe an exhibition space and its users, transforming the challenges into design opportunities. Following the six-weeks course, you will learn how to use a 3d software from scratch (or improve your 3d skills), get practical tools for making the content of the exhibition more clear and accessible, and develop a complete exhibition design proposal.
*For 3D modeling we will use the free software Sketchup
