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.

formwork session 01

images from today's site work are here

general concerns include:
1 overall size
2 rebar tolerance
3 base leveling
4 silhouette elegance

among others.

if you haven't yet, please make an effort to see before thursday's class

ideas for ways to break down the scale of the top concrete surface:
eisenman's memorial in berlin
lewis tsurumaki lewis' ini ani cafe in nyc

true, maybe not the most comfortable thing to sit on for hours, but if you've got a choice between concrete and lush grass on a nice day...
