Exhibition Design and 3D Modeling Fundamentals
Exhibition Design and 3D Modeling Fundamentals
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
