I am taking "the material fringe" this semester which is a workshop that discusses the underlying theories of material, their effect, and their sensibility. We discuss past and current concepts regarding this subject through readings while learning the analytical and digital tools needed to approach this subject physically (Maya, Grasshopper, CNC). My group and I have chosen shredded paper as material to explore from wood ends, wood block, glass cullet, retired asphalt shingles and bark. A form work will also be explored in the same way to support and fuse the CNC with the untraditional material. The final development will be approximately the size of a door or small wall, but there is not a real limitation. Color and its application will be generated for the final construction, as well. If you have a tumblr we to post regularly to update the class. Follow aqui http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/materialfringe . I will post photos of initial explorations soon.
