Constructing Information
The implication of ‘fabrication’ has rapidly expanded for architects, architectural researchers, and students engaging the latest digital tools: fabrication is both material and immaterial, pushing the limits of experimentation while working against the imperatives of real technology and construction imperatives as articulated by other scholars. Computer-aided design and manufacturing, once discreet applications of technology, are [...]
Rhino Scripting Workshop: Southern Illinois University
Joshua Vermillion conducts a Rhino Scripting Workshop at Southern Illinois University.
SuperShell
i.M.A.D.E supported an immersive studio conducted by faculty fellow George Elvin. The studio, consisting of architecture students, designed and built a prototype exterior shell for storm-resistant mobile homes. Cast from concrete using tubing and digitally-fabricated connections, the SuperShell prototype has applications in areas affected by hurricanes and other forms of sever weather. i.M.A.D.E supported the studio [...]
Catch + Release
i.M.A.D.E collaborated with faculty research fellows Jason Johnson and William Marquez on a design/fabrication/research project entitled “Catch + Release”. The project proposed a series of differentiated panels that function as solar collectors, shading devices and ambient lighting. These panels made up part of an entry pavilion for the University Museum at Southern Illinois University, as [...]

Expanded Topographies
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 [...]
Parametric Honeycomb
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. One project that resulted from the seminar explorations consisted of a [...]
Parametric Folding
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 [...]
Andrew Kudless Lecture + Rhino Scripting Workshop
Andrew Kudless of MATSYS conducted two Rhino scripting workshops and delivered a lecture at Ball State. Andrew’s presentations framed scripting as a means to develop and automate procedural design and production techniques which could be directly applied to the students’ design work. Throughout the workshops, Kudless presented examples of scripting techniques from contemporary architecture practices [...]
Digital Toolbox
The Digital Toolbox workshop series was held over the entire fall 2006 semester in 2-week modules. Intended as skill-building opportunities, the workshops covered subjects such as NURBS surface modeling (basic + advanced), animation, rendering, Rhino scripting, CNC tooling, digital fabrication strategies, material effects, parametric modeling, and motion graphics. Central to all of the modules was the [...]
