PROJECT_ DR(IF)T
Narrative
Snow fences can be found near highways and buildings throughout Montana and the Northwest. Their primary purpose is to deposit blowing snow particles on the downwind side of the fence forcing snow drifts to occur in a predictable place away from high-use areas. The fences are primarily used to prevent drifting along [...]

Prof. Bradley on Digital FABRICation
Material – Fabric:
Given any design project I believe it is essential to not only understand its limits through quantities (MOE, tensile strength, compressive strength) but to also have a tactile connection to the material being used within the design. Fabric, as is generally the impression, is a somewhat two-dimensional object/surface with [...]
