AP118: Design Build Project
First year Norwich University architectural design students got a hands-on lesson in tension, compression, and lateral bracing. Using recycled materials including cardboard tubes, wood palettes, twine, branches, plastic bottles, and tarps they constructed temporary shelters for two. Inspired by the Doctors without Borders refugee-camp installation project planned for this Fall 2006 in NYC, the students studied forms of temporary shelter design from around the world. They investigated structural ideas about structure and skin and programmatic ideas about public and private space. They generated digital models of proposed designs and built structural models of their proposals. Finally they tested their ideas ‘in the field’ while exploring team work, power tools, gravity, rain and wind.
This was a three part project: design/build/present which lasted 7 weeks.
The instructors were Eleanor D’Aponte, Assistant Professor and Thomas Leytham, Adjunct Professor
