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.

these look great! what do yall think of the depth of this one? on one hand, it's pretty dynamic in how the surface itself can turn, as well as how there is so much texture on the inside of each diamond. on the other, it's depth seems to sheild any direct view through..

let's touch base tuesday and do some more sewing! thanks for the push this weekend!
