This course intends to answer these essential questions and familiarize students with digital and manual fabrication tools as well as methods of fabrication to emphasize how design and fabrication technologies affect each other reexively.

CourseCourse is composed of three modules investigating different aspects in design fabrication. The rst module Material Manipulations delves into subtractive tooling methods and material manipulations whereas the second module Assembly explores embedded joints and external joints. Final module Prototyping introduces adaptive mold making techniques and brings together all the know-how towards the realization of a 1:1 building element design. Introductory lectures to the specic methods and tools are accompanied with hands-on workshop hours and tutored fabrication process design. Every module is nalized with an assignment, where the studentsstudents are expected to work in groups of two and four as the course progresses. Field trips to workshops and/or factories give insight to the elements of fabrication process.
