Summer 2023 Professor: Asa Peller Partner(s): Kaitlyn Rogers, Kiese Blake, Paula Malloy, Alex Arteaga Typology: Pavillion (built) Location: Clemson, SC Over the summer we had a stent into craft and physical construction, and through this created a fully realized work. This structure was an exploration into form generation through parametric techniques, both with physical and digital modeling. As well we learned to opperate robbotics and hand building techniques to realize the freestanding wall. This project is about,
