Materials, Systems, Fabrication

Recent architectural discourse places a renewed interest in the connection between design and making, recognizing that how building elements are created has a direct impact on the formal and performance aspects of the project. The School of Architecture has numerous resources that contribute to a world-class inquiry into the spectrum of concerns surrounding fabrication, new materials, and new ways of thinking about manufactured buildings systems.
