Responsive Structures

This Design Build seminar investigates the use of metal as a structural, spatial and organizational medium. We will examine the physical properties of post-formable plywood, and develop a structural system and design which respond to site and programmatic conditions. The process includes model building, prototyping, development of joinery, and culminates in the full scale installation of the developed design on campus. This course may be repeated for credit (up to three times). Class meeting days/times are as follows:Session 1: May 20, Friday, 5pm-8pmSaturday, May 21, 9am-5pmSession 2: Sunday, May 22, 10am-5pm
