First Year Design “Visualisation II”: The Hybridisation of Analogue and Digital Tools

AbstractThis paper discusses first year students’ responses and outcomes to the integration of digital technologies in their second semester foundational visualisation class; „Visualisation IF. As the second class in the Visualisation series, previous analogue knowledge taught in „Visualisation I’ is compounded with new digital technologies establishing the introduction to a myriad of hybrid visualisation tools and techniques for design exploration and design artefact. This research examines the differentiation between analogue and digital design, common precedents of the two, and reflects upon the environment and class structure with the learning experiences and confidence of surveyed participants
