Underlying Program Goals:

// lead students in HANDS-ON construction combined with a design studio education in order to discover new intersections between design and fabrication.


// foster a COLLABORATIVE studio environment such that students engage more fully in a dialogue with their peers, practitioners, context and communities.


// implement architecture, design and the making of space to catalyze POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE and stewardship of our built environment.

Weather effects

Up until this point, the weather has been sunny and dry. The storm on the way actually highlighted the dynamic qualities of the canopies' material and structure. In the rain today, the fabric is holding up quite well, and the blast of color on a gray day really stands out!

CANOPIES up until Monday 9/14
