ARCH 5380 - Soft Surface Operations

Effective Start Date: 08/01/2013
We will explore the parameters of shaping the flow of light, wind, and water; then test these discoveries through full-scale mock-ups, exploring practical potentials as well as the experiential aspects of weather phenomena and surface performance. Working with a set of high performance fabrics, it will be possible to produce operable, interactive, beautiful surfaces that create comfortable semi-exterior conditions year-round.
