As part of the semester-long seminar course “Parametric Constructions”, students explored various parametric design methods and digital fabrication techniques through a series of full scale constructs produced in groups of two or three students while working in a collaborative effort with local industry partners. Expanded Topographies looked at using developed surface sections to create scoring patterns from which [...]

As part of the semester-long seminar course “Parametric Constructions”, students explored various parametric design methods and digital fabrication techniques through a series of full scale constructs produced in groups of two or three students while working in a collaborative effort with local industry partners. Entitled Parametric Folding, this project consisted of laser cut aluminum panels [...]

In the Parametric Constructions Seminar students explored the design, fabrication and assembly of a repetitive nonstandardized component system based on parametrically controlled variation and serial differentiation, i.e. mass-customization. The component systems were conceived as a combination of a skin and structure that was fully resolved tectonically and materially. The component systems, when assembled, produced a [...]
