Fabrication in Architectural Design

Catalog description

Design course focused on architectural fabrication processes. Students build individual design projects using wood and metalworking process. This is a lab-based course operating out of the Product Realization Lab (PRL), with one lecture and one lab session per week. Lectures focus on design development as well as the theory and practice of fabrication processes. Structured labs take students' skills from paper-based modeling to full-scale construction processes using actual materials. Prior PRL/Room 036 experience is desirable but not required. Prerequisites: CEE 31, CEE 31Q (required), E 14 (recommended).
