ARCH571 FABRICATION STUDIO
VORONOI PAVILION
SP2019
Abstract
This experimental design studio will introduce students to the history and application of digital fabrication techniques employed in the practice of architecture over the past twenty-five years. Students will engage in a series of exercises used to establish foundational knowledge in modeling, materials, and machines –culminating in a full-scale installation. Precedents, processes, and prototypes will play a fundamental role in our approach, with the goal of creating new knowledge and methodologies for shaping our built environment. Working as individuals and as a team, the studio will be structured around a series of lectures, workshops, and design projects. Previous experience with advanced modeling, digital fabrication, and construction techniques is not required, however, a genuine interest and willingness to test, fail, and iterate is.

Architecture in future will surely be dependent on various other branches of science and
technology. INTER and INTRA dependence of the building architecture, which preciously was considered under civil ,presently electrical and mechanical engineering. “Mathematics� integrated into the building sciences will surely be a great tool to explode various generative forms and iterations as a design part in architecture.
