ReJoin (con’t)
ReJoin is a semester-long thesis research investigation of the role of the architect from design through full-scale production, outputted through the design and construction of a recursive-based growth system and compound wood joinery. The essential components of the fabrication involved the use of a 5-axis CNC router, as well as the incredibly important dialogue between the digital and physical limitations.

XL:TIM
XL:TIM is a technology-interfaced module for living that harnesses the advantages of a whole room’s worth of furniture. Digitally modeled to extreme precision, the final piece was produced and finished at full-scale in a thorough hands-on approach to the production of a project from conception to final product.

SIDE SADDLE: PARALLEL PLEAT PLASTIC cameronjstewart.com // projects
In a research investigation of folding thin-guage PETG plastic using digital fabrication techniques, SIDE SADDLE focuses on the potential outcomes of parallel-pleated modules and their ability to successfully predict a doubly-curved surface.
