At the beginning of the semester, the second-year DNMADE Social Innovation students revisit the fundamentals through a short, structured exercise. Starting from a cube, they move from traditional drawing to vector tracing, then materialize their forms through a laser-cut model. Each transformation is analyzed, represented, and tested before a final staging step in a chosen context. This sequence consolidates the technical foundations acquired during the first year and prepares them for the demands of prototyping.
