iSTUDIO: An Interactive Form-making Environment for Art and Architectural Teaching

Abstract

Final report of a 2013/2014 IIF project, "iSTUDIO: An Interactive Form-making Environment for Art and Architectural Teaching." Proposal Summary: Our MUITC-IIF proposal involved a proof-of-concept for an interactive form-making environment for Art and Architectural Studies. We created a 3D digital environment intended to foster interaction between students and instructors for creative generation of ideas, critique and debate. This is a platform in which students and instructors can 'visualize' their designs in a shared forum. The 3D environment is intended to extend and enhance physical artifacts that students already do in visualizing art and space.
