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.

Nomadic Canopies Spring 2009 Workshop

JOIN US this semester as we design + construct a canopy structure for two distinct neighborhoods of Boston, part of the ongoing design/build program at the BAC.
'We will design and construct a shared nomadic [traveling + temporary + adaptable] canopy that addresses the parameters of three diverse sites. The studio will first focus on form finding through model making and material testing. We will then address issues of modularity and [dis]assembly, with strong emphasis on the research and implementation of digital technologies. Students will investigate the integration of photovoltaic for light emission, sound generation, and operability in addition to space making and aesthetics.'
