Architecture 280MB - Makerspace Design-Build Studio

The rise of digital fabrication processes has blurred the traditional division of labor enabling architects and designers not only to draw but to also fabricate projects, often using the very same programs. Following the rise in CAD/CAM has been a burgeoning Maker movement as more and more individuals have rediscovered the joys (and sometimes frustrations) of realizing projects within a collaborative environment. This class will introduce students to both traditional and digital making through a series of individual exercises that will culminate in a collaborative group project to make a reception desk for the new Makerspace in Prospect Hall.

Prereq: Any architecture studio course or art studio course.
