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.

team II new patterning options


guys
these are patterns that kyle, terry, lindsay, and i discussed as ways of excluding hardware/using the fabric as the line and connection directly to the anchor points (like the green honeycomb or the mini fabric tie connectors that you've been using.  is this the general direction that your connection systems are heading?  i think that this might be a natural way for our different shapes to liken to one another.  much more organic than rigging.  like a plant or a squid versus a tent.  the tails would be patterned in and used to tie off directly.  we've also been discussing sewing as opposed to hardware for internal connections as well.  let us know.
