The Fay Jones School of Architecture is inaugurating a new Advanced Digital Fabrication Lab [DFAB<\/strong>-LAB]\u00a0 supporting new research and teaching initiatives directed by 21st C. Chair in Integrated Practice, assistant professor Santiago R. P\u00e9rez. The new lab will provide specialised computer-controlled machines for both small-scale protoyping and large-scale industrial fabrication of components in steel, wood, and experimental materials for architecture. The lab has been outfitted with a custom high-gantry, 5-Axis CNC mill and Steel Plasma Cutter, an innovative tool that will provide new opportunities for research and teaching.<\/p>\n

FABCRAFT<\/strong> will \u00a0inaugurate the opening of the DFAB-LAB with\u00a0a series of workshops, culminating with an exhibition of work at the Bentonville sUgAR<\/a> gallery.<\/p>\n

The CELENTO \/ PEREZ STEELCRAFT<\/em><\/strong> <\/em> workshop, FEB 17-19, will feature collaborative work by David Celento and S. Perez, utilizing CNC plasma cutting & 5-axis milling. The workshop will be held at the Government Avenue DFAB-LAB.<\/p>\n

The PARAMETRIC CRAFT<\/strong><\/em> workshop, FEB 26-28, will feature DIGITAL FORM FINDING using parametric software [Rhino Grasshopper], coupled with KANGAROO<\/a>, presented by Ronnie Parsons & Gil Akos of STUDIOMODE<\/a>.<\/strong> Kangaroo is a \u201clive physics engine for Rhino & Grasshopper. It embeds powerful mathematical models of real physical behaviour directly in Rhino\u2019s 3D modelling environment; so designers can use it to integrate with and inform a design right from the very earliest stages.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
