Design in a digital environment

Abstract

An exploration of CAD and animation software was recently undertaken by a group of senior students at Lincoln University to develop and refine a range of design solutions for an inner city public space in Christchurch. The studio is part of a structured sequence of digital applications in the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture at Lincoln, where students have access to the four main groups of software (office productivity, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), CAD, and graphics including image editing).
