Today as creators, we find ourselves amid a new paradigm shift of the 4th Industrial Revolution—where our physical and digital worlds are completely blended together. This revolutionary digitized transformation has changed how we design things, how we make things, who makes these things and the very nature of what we make. Design no longer exists passively on the drawing board as amalgamation of abstract ideas and functionalities but it actively addresses issues related to material optimization, making techniques, etc. at ideational level. The background concern of this studio unit was to bridge the gap between abstract drawing board ideas and making techniques in two ways: how ideas can be embodied in materials and making processes and how thinking through materials and making processes can tease out ideas. Academically, to find some precision in such methods, instead of working on abstract concepts, an analogical method was introduced at the starting of semester as a kick off point & later each student was given specific material or production technique as a constraint to work his design upon.
