Manufacturing Material Effects Symposium
Manufacturing Material Effects Symposium

i.M.A.D.E hosted an international symposium entitled “Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Architecture as a material practice implies that making, the close engagement of the material, is intrinsic to a design process. Material effects, such as pattern, texture, relief, or varying properties, become the means through which [...]

Digital Fabrication: Focus on Indiana
Digital Fabrication: Focus on Indiana

From simple household products to building components for complex structures, landscapes, and interiors, this summit focused on how Indiana manufacturers could employ Digital Fabrication and Rapid Prototyping processes as one strategy to compete with overseas manufacturing concerns. Products made out of wood, limestone, concrete, steel, plastic, and recycled materials can all be produced faster and [...]


i.M.A.D.E INFO
i.M.A.D.E acts as a catalyst of digital design and fabrication techniques for both industry and education related to architecture and allied arts. Through immersive projects deploying interdisciplinary, applied design and fabrication research, the institute is a conduit between students, design professionals, and the manufacturing sector.
As an institute within Ball State University, i.M.A.D.E supports curricular components offering expertise with state-of -the-art software and devices using simulation, analysis, fabrication, and a rigorous examination of the craft inherent in digital design and production. With strategic industry partners, students test knowledge through team-based projects dealing with the translation of bits into atoms, shifting scales between models, prototypes, 1:1 construction, and the development of solutions to real problems by managing a complex set of design constraints.
