Creators of paper form, designers of space as a foundation to greater realizations. Freshman Foundation is the rough sketch stage off your training as a designer. You stddenly find yourself plunged into new surroundings, among new™friendss and in a completely new field™ of, activity. The work seems be- yond your grasp at first . . . fold paper to support a man’s weight? . . . create a design that looks like nothing yet looks good? . . . project the intersection of a cube with a cone in three coordi- nates? This isn’t exactly what you ex- pected. Your pride in‘solving one prob- lem is eclipsed by the appearance of another equally impossible riddle. You’re mystified, confused, and some- times it even seems silly. Slowly the weeks pass, your new vocabulary grows, and after a year of paper, plaster, and paint, you’re surprised to find that you have developed’ an insatiablé-fasei- nation for it all. The theory and application of three dimensions . . . into design on paper.
