本次暑校面向有创造力的个人、借助于灵感创作的专业人士、当前在读大学生和毕业生。数字设计概论（IDD）课程为期两周，内容涉及最现代的数字技术。暑期项目将由主讲老师亲自带领，在独特而生动的工作室环境中开展，为学生介绍建筑实验和变革性数字设计技术。在这密集的两周时间中，学生将研究Maya中的一系列数字建模和表现技术，同时配合学习Artificial Intelligence,  Grasshopper,  Zbrush and Unreal Engine。根植于静物技术，学生们将审视一系列静物，以及它们在构图、渲染和灯光效果方面的反应。

Open to creative individuals, inspired professionals, and current college students and graduates, Introduction to Digital Design (IDD) is a two-week workshop on the most contemporary digital techniques. The portfolio building summer program introduces students to architectural experimentation and transformative design techniques in a unique and lively in person studio setting. During these intensive two weeks, students will investigate a range of digital modelling and representation techniques in Maya along with highly focused tactical classes on Artificial Intelligence, Grasshopper, Zbrush and Unreal Engine. Rooted in still life techniques, students will interrogate a series of still objects and how they react in terms of composition, rendering and lighting effects.

本课程的重点是教授学生如何对不同类型的形式和表象图案进行数字化建模，重点是“可爱”及其形式和色差特性。作为出发点，同学们将着眼于村上隆的作品。这些图像将作为构建图画、渲染和多边形建模技能的基础。

This course will focus primarily on teaching students how to digitally model different types of formal and representational characters with an emphasis on “cuteness”, and its formal and chromatic properties. As a point of departure, the class will be looking at the work of Takashi Murakami. These images will be used as a foundation for developing skills in constructing drawings, rendering and polygonal modeling.

学生将学习多种建模、贴图和渲染技术，探索多平台工作流程，研究多边形网格建模和表现技术。（软件涵盖Maya、Arnold、Z-Brush、Rhino、3D打印软件、Adobe Photoshop 和 Adobe Illustrator）

The course project will allow students to learn multiple modeling, texturing and rendering techniques. Students will explore multi-platform workflows to develop fundamentals in polygonal mesh modeling and representational techniques. 

本次课程为期两周7月13日开始至7月25日结束，其中每周一、三、五为主讲老师根据以上课程安排进行线下教学。每周二、四会有 SCI-Arc 院校任职老师带来的不同主题的线上讲座，助教老师也会全程辅助答疑辅助同学们完成教学任务。
