“The Architecture of Objects”

His studio proposes that the design and fabrication of objects serves as a fertile arena for the exploration and clarification of ideas pursuant to larger, more integrated architectures. The studio work involved a series of design fabrication projects across a range of scales: from slip cast ceramics to tables, standing screens and cabinets (for curiosities.) The work of four studio design collaboratives provided a collective setting for shared meal and conversations.

The design of each object engaged a different set of material and fabrication processes, both digital and analog and hybrids of both. These were integrated with a design appropriate levels of control, welcomed happenstance and appropriate deployment of craft.

The parameters for the design of each object root the work in the artifact itself and also in the relational thinking in regards to larger architectural questions surfaces, joints, tectonics, form and space.

But most explicitly in their use and enjoyment.

In addition to their design and fabrication work, each studio member prepared and served a small plate dish to our review guests providing a tasty material addition to the collective studio efforts.
