This course examines the planning and designing of three-dimensional environments that encourage visitor’s understanding, participation, and emotional engagement. Participants will learn different tools to understand and manipulate space using from simple existing elements to design graphics or multimedia in order to make the exhibition content more clear and accessible.
Following the course participants will learn practical tools to observe a space and its interaction, will design an exhibition according to a brief and will develop a presentation of complete exhibition design proposal.

"It felt just like a class room, good presentation and convenient around my everyday life."
"Very interesting course, it gives you an insight into the world of exhibition design and 3D modelling. It also provides you with a range of transferable skills which can be used and applied in a broader (non-art) context."
