What you will learn

Sketchup is something most Experiential Graphic Designers use, and with good reason-it’s a tremendous tool. Speakers Andy Parsons and Seth Davisare both experts in the development of Sketchup for documentation purposes and its use as a tool for fabrication. In this Podcast, they explain how Experiential Graphic Designers can interject themselves more into the architectural process with tools such as Sketchup. They also refer to a case study to demonstrate how these methods and lessons can be applied.
