There are two workshops in Explore: Radial Pattern Making and Rapid Prototype of Shelters (select the sub pages under this heading for the lesson plans)
Why Patterns? Patterns can inform us of who we are and where we are. The seemingly insignificant visual cues in our daily lives anchor us to place and community in a way our maps do not. In the Radial Pattern Making exercise you will distill your community in pattern and reflect on your design in an artist statement.
Why Shelters? At the most basic, shelters address our need for privacy, community and protection from the elements. How can the shelters you design address these basic needs as well as contemporary needs of your community? How can they address global needs?
