typologies
// LaN STUDIO
full semester university
studios as visiting faculty
members
engaging students in
digital fabrication via
full-scale cnc prototyping
// LaN ON-SITE
workshops curated to utilize
specific local resources--
geographical features, local
specialists and technological
opportunities
// LaN FLIGHT
touring seminar of digital
fabrication practices &
programs.
An immersive mobile
experience intended to
draw a diverse group of
professionals and students
from afar for a full schedule
of exchanges with leading
practices, fabrication visits, &
professionals.
// LaN RESPONSE
workshops driven by the
need for design responses
to current events– natural
disasters, built
environment / social crisis
// LaN CO-FAB
workshops engaging in
virtual collaborative
fabrication with a
professional fabrication lab /
company often in a country
outside of host workshop
locale.
// LaN PRO-FAB
professional project-specific
prototyping training in a
fabrication shop setting
workshop points
of emphasis
//
WIDE COLLABORATION
Perhaps the greatest
advancement with emerging
technology is the way in
which designers are able to
collaborate across platforms
and various disciplines giving
the once very linear
refinement process new fluid
meaning in design
development. LaN seeks to
evoke the potential and
particulars of collaborative
design-to-fabrication across
fields.
// MORE DIGITAL++
MORE PHYSICAL+++
Digital tools have in fact
brought us back to a
closeness with materiality
and physicality. Some may
think the end goal of
increasing digital powers is a
digital end itself... we
disagree. Its in using digital
tools that we can achieve
greater means to building
and interacting with our
physical environment.
//
PARAMETRIC DESIGN
The term ‘parametric’ is
often underrepresented as
simply relevant in a modeling
tool sense. The idea of
working parametrically has
as much to do with design
congruence between
multiple phases of a project.
Parametric design
introduces a shift in
architectural development—
moving away from narrative
driven deterministic design
towards an iterative, bottom-
up process. Challenging
participants to adapt to
design process shifts has
been the greatest of
challenges in our experience
and consequently the most
rewarding.
// NATURAL FORCES /
DATA-FED DESIGN
With new ways of readily
analyzing and simulating
natural forces this topic will
introduce the potential of
performance driven
design, especially via
context-specific customized
design elements.
// FULL-SCALE
PROTOTYPING
To reiterate the architectural
role is once again moving
beyond representing to
design informed by
production and material
properties, 1:1 scale
prototyping experience is a
crucial. Participants typically
will be asked to work hands
on (via available CNC
production options) at real
scale with their digital files to
physical forms and back
(creating a feedback loop).
// DESIGN-SCIENCE /
EXPERIMENT DON’T
ENVISION
Prioritizing the search for
non-envisioned form /
results via strategies of
enabling bottom-up
processes to yield
unpredictable results.
Design an experiment, not
the result.
