Student Work

Form to Function


Through a series of discrete exercises coupling digital fabrication and design techniques with analog processes, students in Form to Function gain familiarity with digital space and creative systems thinking and analog build processes. Students design solutions to extant problems using digital modeling software; these digital designs are then translated into functional analog objects by way of hand, machine, and robotic tools. We observe the multiple transitions from digital to analog, with a keen eye toward understanding the qualities of each state (if indeed they can be neatly separated).
