BuildLab and Pavement to Parks join forces in an exciting exploration of mutable design and fabrication projects to be tested in the public realm. Pavement to Parks will sponsor and host the final prototypes on site at Pier 70 with the goal to temporarily activate public space within our neighborhood.
This 1:1 AIS designed and prototyped mobile unit(s) for this experimental, resourceful and unpolished waterfront area that is proud of its industrial past. These mobile prototypes provided infrastructure for outdoor learning including different combinations of shelter, stage, and seating that could host teaching, performing and gathering activities of varied size groups. Designing through physical making was the primary focus of this studio. Through an investigation in material literacy, a 1:1 structural and material system emerged for a site-specific construction. This course investigated both traditional and digital fabrication techniques and focused on the process of making, construction management, design detailing and documentation.
