Sambo’_[Reconfigured

Bridging Jeffersonian architecture and Eliadean philosophy, this research full scale fabrication seminar uses Charlottesville as a laboratory, while taking advantage of UVA’s fabrication facilities and using Catia’s versatile parametric environment as new cognitive opportunity. Computer-aided design and manufacturing methods have extensively permeated fabrication environments for the production of architecture. Symbolic representations in architecture, on the other hand, have widely become obsolete in the unanimous understanding of our globalised society, to the detriment of traditions and heritage. This seminar introduces students to the fundamentals of CAD/CAM, with a particular focus on the function of myths and subsequent applications in architecture, tectonic details, interior furnishings and the realm of products.
