Course Description:
The objective is to deepen students’ knowledge in 3D modelling and representation. Students are to develop their personal approach in visual creativity, including reality rendering, parametric form generations, and algorithmic and intuitive conceptual development, respectively. The aim is to create an own personal project, evaluation and exhibition and presentations.

Competences:
able to sort, observe, and analyse information collected during the design, implementation and operational processes, and to conclude the lessons, including the feedback into practice
