I started sharing notes in two thousand thirteen, as an undergrad, because I thought someone else might need them. That habit stuck. Every day since then, at least one person somewhere in the world has studied from these pages. Learn, share, repeat. That is what this site runs on.

This page holds the notes and assignments from Major Studio One, a core studio course from my first semester at Parsons School of Design, fall two thousand eighteen. The work here sits inside the Parsons Years path, tracing how my thinking in design deepened across five courses.

Major Studio 1 · Parsons School of Design · 1

Every single day since 2013, at least one person in the world has studied from notes I published. That number has never gone to zero. I started sharing study notes online as an undergrad – I had the notes, someone else needed them, so I put them out. That habit became a rule I still build by: Learn. Share. Repeat.

The notes and assignments here are from Major Studio 1, the core design studio I took in my first semester at Parsons School of Design, fall 2018. It was the start of a longer research arc.

Major Studio 1 sits inside the Parsons Years study path on akshansh.net – a sequence of five courses that traces how my design research thread deepened: Design for This Century, Major Studio 1, Recursive Reality, Major Studio 2, and Creativity and Computation.

The PDF is embedded below. Read it here or download it – whichever works.
