4. NEW LIFE: Design a new family of …
What are the specific characteristics of your family, how are they related? Explore them, interview them, and give us a peek into the kitchen of your family.
After this research you give birth to a new family of … (whatever you want!), in which you translate the characteristics of your family. These can be 3D products or other expressions, as long as the results are related to each other like a family.
Present to the admission committee your complete process: your research, your ideas, sketches, steps and choices and of course your final models. Good luck and see you in April 2014!
