This one-day charrette/installation will focus on space-making through internal group communication, external collaboration, designing, and building. Participants will use basic spatial devices (ground plane, wall, canopy) to produce life-size spatial conditions (e.g. enclosure + openness, sequence + stasis, dark + light). Participants will explore material manipulation (translucency, opacity, layers, texture) to inform and enliven their spatial creations.
Assisted and guided by members of Landworks Studio, Inc., a Boston-based collaborative design practice, participants will work in independently-driven teams to create dynamic and compelling spatial experiences using selected, ordinary modeling and installation materials such as fishing line, string, paper, cloth, wire, and/or PVC pipes. The sites will be modules squared-off within a Penn Stater Conference Center room. At the end of the day, the final product will be as much about the individual spaces as interrelationships of the larger matrix.
A limited number of seats are available on a first-come, first served basis. Participants must register for the charrette by checking the appropriate space on the registration form.
Those who choose the charrette will not be eligible to attend Saturday workshops as well. During check-in at The Penn Stater, conference participants will
received an itemized agenda of their workshops for Friday and Saturday (or Saturday charrette, if chosen) and the corresponding room locations.
