Cornell in Rome Program

A collaboration was formed between the students and Cornell University, specifically the Cornell in Rome Program. This collaboration took place during a workshop focused on “Small Public Pavilion Design/Urban Furniture.” The design project revolved around a lakeside site that featured an existing sala structure, which had been poorly utilized and fallen into disrepair.

The objective of the workshop was to reimagine and revitalize the underutilized sala structure, transforming it into a small public pavilion that would enhance the lakeside environment. The students worked diligently to develop innovative design concepts that would not only restore the structure but also make it a functional and inviting space for the community.

By combining their creativity, architectural knowledge, and understanding of urban furniture design, the students aimed to breathe new life into the lakeside site. The collaboration with Cornell University provided valuable expertise and perspectives, enriching the workshop experience and fostering interdisciplinary learning.

Ultimately, the workshop served as a platform for students to explore the potential of the existing structure and reimagine it as a vibrant public pavilion, contributing to the enhancement of the lakeside environment for both locals and visitors alike.

Plant Plastica

"Plant Plastica: A Workshop into the World of Upcycling Plastic" is a project aimed at addressing the pervasive issue of plastic waste in contemporary society. In collaboration with Precious Plastic Bangkok, students learn to upcycle waste materials and adopt environmentally conscious design approaches. They are tasked to fabricate a collection of large-scale furniture using CNC, plastic recycling solutions, and low-tech machinery. Simultaneously, students develop skills in stakeholder collaboration and community engagement. To promote wider awareness and education about plastic waste and upcycling, students design, organize, and curate a public pop-up event and workshop. The project emphasizes the importance of considering the entire lifecycle of plastic in architectural practices, from extraction and production to disposal and upcycling. This initiative is a stride towards resource sustainability and responsible design in the face of 21st-century environmental challenges.

Toolcraft: Clay 3D Printer

The exploration of 3D printing was the centre of the summer workshop. The workshop was initiated by building an open-source clay 3D printer from scratch. Through the act of 'tool-building', firsthand experience of how 3D printing technologies work and the constraints and possibilities of the machine was gained by the students. Through adapting several open-source 3D printing designs, students went through a process of modifying and ‘hacking’ the 3D printer design, adding their own features and addons which could improve the machines efficiency and its possible printing techniques. Along with designing and building a 3d printer, the students' toolkit was further supplemented with digital tools primarily focusing on Grasshopper, where they learnt parametric design which generated custom g-code which sent tailored instructions and controls to the machine, allowing for a constant feedback loop between design development and testing.
