Basic Design known since the Bauhaus by such other terms as preparatory course or foundation course is one of the ardently discussed subjects of design education. We are still lacking a sifting and a historical documentation of the widely spread material concerning the various contributions. To clarify this subject we publish an article written by an architect-educator who studied at the U!m School of Design. This article is illustrated with student exercises, although they were not made at the HfG; for they are aiming in a direction shared by the HfG. We intend to continue this subject matter in a later issue of 'ulm'. We will publish material concerning the specific contribution of the HfG, at which the first foundation course with a synthesis of perception theory, symmetry theory and topology was given in 1955. All works published in this article were made under William S. Huff by stundents in the Department of Architecture at the Carnegie lnstitute of Technology, Pittsburgh/USA.
