ENVD Introduction to Digital Fabrication

Project: Modeling & Material Research with Paper

Student: Dan Kinnett

​

Outcomes:

The goal of this workshop is to make an object that utilizes paper as a material and is fundamentally built using digital design and fabrication strategies.

The project considers the principles of a modular design system. Design considerations include surface opacity, connection points between modules, open space as a result of consequence, structural ability.

​

Introduces the concepts, tools, and methods used in digital fabrication practices. Covers the fundamental skills necessary for exploring the role of digital fabrication tools in architecture. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 

​

1. Utilize basic fabrication methodologies to generate material assemblies.

2. Plan and implement a workflow for translating digital information into 3- dimensional physical construction. 

3. Employ fundamental techniques of computer-aided design, digital modeling, and digital fabrication to develop and communicate design ideas. 

4. Engage in critical self-reflection in order to evaluate the design process and its results.
