2025/26 WS What if you could translate every object you like into the digital world? A simple chair, a sketch in a notebook, or even a handmade model could instantly become a precise virtual version of itself. The physical and digital realms would merge, letting creativity move freely between reality and imagination. Designers, students, and creators could experiment without limits, editing, scaling, and reshaping objects with a click while the original still exists in front of them. It would turn everyday items into endless possibilities, where the boundary between what is real and what is digital almost disappears.

A project made in the course
Digital Design: 3D CAD advanced
The course 'Digital Design: 3D CAD Advanced' will proficient the students to the digital-design techniques and methods for digital modelling through advanced operational tools. The aim of the course is to achieve the control of highly complex geometries production and their representation. Students will use different techniques to produce digital design, working and understanding different typologies and mathematical model, including Meshes, SubD and NURBS surfaces. Particular attention will be to understand and learn the process of polygonal modelling and the workflow between the different geometries, software and application-scenarios.
