Undergraduate Course: Paper Engineering (intensive) (LLLA07122)

Course Outline
SchoolEdinburgh College of Art CollegeCollege of Humanities and Social Science
Credit level (Normal year taken)SCQF Level 7 (Year 1 Undergraduate) AvailabilityNot available to visiting students
SCQF Credits10 ECTS Credits5
SummaryThis course explores the structural potential of paper as a basic sheet material through the use of simple processes to create complex geometric structures as a creative practice.
Initial paper manipulation studies will identify an individual approach through exploration, repetition, and the use of scale and the choice of paper types to create a cohesive body of work. These in turn can be used as proposals for 3D design in the form of jewellery, textiles or ceramics or to create architectural or interior spaces for animation.
Emphasis is placed on heightening awareness and application of non-precious, transient materials within the design process.
