Real time interactive environments have been, until very recently, essentially untheorised. And while the emergence of readily accessible real time rendering and physics engines offers an opportunity to revolutionise design, the influence of these technologies and approaches on form, space and environment is being determined by non designers. This course will return designers to the leading edge of spatial and environmental design by engaging with these new processes and technologies within a rigorously drawing orientated academic framework. An understanding of parametric, solid and surface modelling is assumed. Learning and assessment is based on design experiments within a computer lab based studio environment.
