Description
Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into his or her upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.

Section DescriptionIn the time of environmental and political instability the fixed boundaries between private and public, natural and artificial, land and water – are shifting. Instead of an instinct to stabilize one’s hold on the ground, this course invites students to envision a possibility of fluid and dynamic relationships that embrace change and adaptability. What would it mean to remove the discrete boundary between dry and wet? How might a fluid threshold be an opportunity for imagined possibilities?In the course of the semester, students will experiment, prototype, imagine and test wet scenarios, addressing the multiple scales of their impact – from molecular and micro-organic, through skin and body, to regional and potentially global. The outcome of the course will be a series of hypotheses, implemented in tangible prototypes that represent various ways of interacting with water.
