Columbia GSAPP

Sorry for the late notice, but CASE is giving a lecture as part of Columbia's GSAPP summer Visual Studies Lecture Series tonight at 6:30.

I taught a workshop at Columbia GSAPP, along with Fed and Josh Emig from SHoP Architects, focused on the use of new technology in the production of full-scale building component systems. The workshop emphasized the use of these tools in order to facilitate better communication and collaboration, rather than the isolated study of technique.

In Fall 2007, I co-taught an advanced design studio with David Benjamin, of The Living, entitled Proof: Prototyping Energy, Ecosystem, Evolutionary Computing, and Amphibious Architecture. This was the first in a series of studios that David would go on to teach using a methodology that we developed. The primary goal of the studio was to explore rigorous testing as a design process, beginning with the formulation of the studio itself.
