The second project will focus on developing a hybrid design workflow using available ad hoc fabrication means. The groups will collaborate remotely to share a concept, digital resources, and expertise, but each member will independently implement a fabrication process and render sample artifacts. A central thesis of Human Machine Virtuosity is that human skill wielding

Project 2: Architectural Intervention Design System
The second project will focus on a site of your choice within Museumlab as a location for an architectural intervention using a plaster form. The work could be a continuation of your first project or begin from a new premise. As before, you will be creating a design workflow usable by multiple authors, then demonstrating

Project 1: Tile Design System – Capturing Plaster in Time
We began this project with a set of iterative, experimental material studies to build an understanding of how plaster responds to other materials in the it’s working process. After two iterative cycles we focussed on one specific technique: plaster poured into molten paraffin wax, which highlights the unique nature of the plaster working process. Initial Experiments

Project 1: Tile Design System – Group Clay
Elizabeth Lister, Jonathan Liang, Michael Stesney, Ruohai Ge System objectives Although we initially intended to explore armatures, we narrowed the focus of our system to exploring the creation of molds with material that could be fabricated or marked by a robot. Clay was chosen for its utility, allowing us to experiment with expressive objects and
