OffCUT(s): Material Ecologies, J-Term Seminar

Category: Teaching
Location: Boston, US
Year:
2023


OffCUT(s) is a provocation to design with forgotten remnants of the construction industry. By bringing new life to offcuts, students will metamorphose these remnants into objects, intervening prior to their imminent fate of ending up in landfills. The course utilizes frameworks of circular economies from fashion [Marine Serre A/W‘18] and product design [NikeLab Chicago Re-Creation Center c/o Virgil Abloh] and applies them to architecture. In conversation with Harvard Graduate School of Design, this J-term focuses on the scale of an object as a rapid case study. 

In collaboration with Marya Demetra Kanakis
