ARC 3823 Prototyping & Fabrication, CoAD Lawrence Technological University
Course Brief: What is the role of architectural speculation when the gap between conception and physical translation becomes instantaneous? If all design work is digital, what role can a physical model play? If all design work is digital, what techniques can be deployed for the creation of a speculative physical model? Has the physical architectural model as a tool for speculation been replaced in the digital age? Through a series of hands-on labs, students learn and work with the 3D printers, CNC Machine and Kuka industrial robotic arm as a means of introducing basic concepts of manufacturing and fabrication. This course explores the crossover between computer-aided design and advanced fabrication techniques. Instead of simply understanding this technology as output, the course foregrounds a craft-based ethos where designers must learn the tools-of-the-trade, and then master them prior to making a viable proposal.

ARC 3233 & ARC 6003 Applied Digital Fabrication, CoAD Lawrence Technological University
Course Brief: Introduction to Digital Fabrication was the first-course offering of a soon-to-be, continuously evolving think-tank for the investigation of constructive strategies between computer-aided design and advanced fabrication techniques. Through a series of hands-on labs, students learned and worked with the KUKA industrial robotic arm (aka Bianco) as a means of introducing basic concepts of manufacturing and fabrication. Instead of simply understanding this technology as output, the course foregrounds a craft-based ethos where designers must learn the tools-of-the-trade and then mastered them prior to making a viable proposal.
Students: Nikola Gjurchinoski, Andrew Donlin, Joshua Dee, Jordan Bryant,Bryce Cox, Luis Cortes, Nicholas Crawford, Kevin Piotrowski, Lamya Kassem, Isabel Toth & Rasha Shkoukani.
