Description:
In this seminar students will work in groups on a series of three-dimensional volumes of human scale.
Inspired by the work of M.C Escher, will first learn about two-dimensional tessellations to generate and organize a system through repletion and transformation of a set number of members. Further on students will build on these techniques to create variation within this system. Moving into the third dimensions students will need to embrace machine logics and material behavior as informing agents in the design and fabrication process. Students will get familiar with digital fabrication technologies such as CNC machines, vacuum forming machines and industrial robots.
By completing this course, students should be familiar with taking basic surface tessellations and patterns from sketch board to the production of complex assemblages. In the process, students should learn essential grasshopper skills, and how to incoorporate the design constrains of production machines
