Materials & Production Archive

The Materials and Production study area emphasizes those aspects of architectural education that deal directly with properties of materials. Courses emphasize actual production, as opposed to design through representation, by examining the relationships between material, detail, joinery, and mass vs. crafted production. Particular emphasis is put on the relationship between tactility and visuality and, as digital construction becomes increasingly prominent, the new relationship between the computer and the physical world.
