Digital architecture is a method to bring together technology in design to develop new forms and constructions. Digital architecture also allows faculty and students a freedom of design and experimentation that could only be acquired through years of expertise and training. In the Center for Low-Carbon Structures, our students have been experimenting with a Maslow CNC to create two-dimensional patterns, and three dimensional objects from plywood plates. The playdate is an opportunity to see the inner-workings of the projects developed and to experience some of the challenges and opportunity that is available in this area of design.
