ICFRC: Exploring the World of 3-D Design
Listen to an audio podcast of this program.
Monica Correia discusses the art of designing and details the many sources of inspiration for her work. Themes include the intersection of art, technology, and nature. Monica demonstrates the power that organic forms have to evoke emotions and express the ephemeral qualities of movement seen in dance, music, and nature. She details her creative process and how she uses computer technologies to generate her design. The artistic freedom available through design is demonstrated through Monica's choice not to limit her work to preconceived forms, scales, or trends.
Monica Correia received a Bachelors of Architecture degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before Monica's moving to the United States, she taught at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro School of Architecture. She also designed interiors for businesses in Brazil and Portugal. She received her MFA degree in 3D Design from the University of Iowa. She has had multiple exhibitions in London, Milan, New York City, and Ljubljana Slovenia. Her work has also been displayed at the "Salao Design Casa Brasil," "Abiplast Design Award," "Liceu de Design Award," "The Skin of Corian," the Krasl Art Center ArtLab, Chico Art Center, and the Moss-Thorns Gallery of Art, among others.
Her work as Associate Professor and head of the 3D Design Program at the University of Iowa School of Art & Art History was awarded the "ICFF Editor's Award for Best School" in New York City in 2015. With her students, she also received the "SOFA CNNECT" award for best design environment in Chicago for two consecutive years (2014/2015).
