SDUSD CCTE Educators present the NuVu Design Studio Summer Experience of creative hands-on learning! This experience gives students the opportunity to participate in our design-based studios. Using NuVu’s own digital platform and network of experts and coaches, we are able to bring this interdisciplinary studio directly to you.

In this Studio, we will be exploring the nuances and imperfections of a place which are often what make it so delightful and engaging. A strangely-shaped crack in the hallway, a sign with a missing letter, a bench with a missing arm rest – each provides a new lens into understanding the location, its history, and its present.
Imperfections are also opportunities for designers to critique the environment: to exaggerate, distort, exploit, manipulate, or alter an existing condition into something new and playful. Through the slightest material change in the environment, design can modify the narrative of a place.

In this studio, students will create non-destructive, temporary installations on a public site to transform spaces through elements of delight, play, wonder, and surprise!
