Core Course

  • Design Language 1

Taking "objects" as the subject of observation, the course guides students from the multidimensional analysis of objects gradually into the logic of training artificial-intelligence models, coming to understand the properties and characteristics of objects across different dimensions. It focuses on cultivating students' capacity for multi-perspective observation and expression, and on establishing an awareness of the typology of objects, thereby laying a perceptual and cognitive foundation for subsequent professional study.

Level: Undergraduate / Graduate


  • Design Language 3

Taking "space" as the core narrative medium and critical tool, the course guides students to regard space as an "active medium." Through progressive practical tasks, it trains students to begin from investigation and research in gathering and transforming narrative material, and to conduct critical reflection through the integration of theory and practice, focusing on cultivating students' spatial-narrative ability, digital design skills, and critical thinking.

Level: Undergraduate / Graduate


  • Design Language 4

Centered on training problem awareness and problem articulation, the course is conducted with a real project site as its field of study. It guides students from the observation of phenomena gradually toward the extraction of issues, cultivating the core abilities to identify problems, focus on them, and articulate them clearly. The course emphasizes training students' interdisciplinary capacity for organization and collaboration, as well as their ability to intervene in real-world contexts and innovate through the methods of the Art & Technology discipline.

Level: Undergraduate / Graduate


  • Art Expression 2

Taking "world-building" as its core theme, the course guides students from science-fiction narrative and scene-setting toward the systematic construction of a visual world from an initial worldview concept. Structured as a progressive project-based process, students establish the world concept through research, create with concept art and AI generative tools, and complete immersive content and its exhibition. The course focuses on cultivating students' abilities in worldview construction, conceptual visual expression, and the integrated use of digital tools, and on establishing a methodological awareness of driving visual creation through narrative.

Level: Undergraduate / Graduate
