Design Discovery 2019: Lounge Device Project
This project challenges campers to work in groups to create a cardboard lounge table device. Each team will be given multiple sheets of cardboard.
Before you make the finished device, each team will produce three 1/4-sized study models and one full-size connection detail.
By working through this process of design, the devices will be more thoughtful and coherent at the end of the project.
The cardboard lounge table device must support at least one person from the team as well as perform one other task determined by the group.
Design Discovery 2019: Group Sketching
Architects use detail drawing as a means of communicating physical conditions. Detail drawing is also a tool for working out design decisions. Learning to use detail drawing is an important skill for any architect.
In this project, campers will have a chance to practice drawing in detail. After a brief introduction to the basics of drawing and detail drawing, students will be guided to sketch various parts of Giles Hall.
Design Discovery 2019: Day 1 – Instant Environment
The instant environment puts you, your teammates, and your instructor against the rest of the camp in designing and constructing a life-size enclosure on a pre-selected site. Using bamboo, muslin cloth, and string, you must make a space and structure that provides shelter for your team, and relates and responds to your site.
