Fauna Fabrications "Biological Building" November 1, November 8, November 15, November 22
High School Session - Domesticity (Link)
This studio series examines the conceptualization of a new symbiotic architectural typology. This studio will explore the relationship between architectural occupants and fauna to establish a symbiosis directed through architectural design. This studio aims to establish a new pedagogy of architectural thinking across permeability, occupancy, spatial designation, and construction methods. The studio will develop a small portfolio project that includes sketches, hand-drafted orthographic drawings, and conceptual models.
