Code, Form, Space Mini-Symposium
Algorithmic processes, harnessed through the medium of code, allow creators to generate complex forms and organic structures by the application of elementary but carefully-tuned sets of rules. Digital fabrication systems, such as computer-controlled laser cutters, 3D printers, and machining systems, offer a nearly instantaneous way [...]

‘PLECTIC THINKING’
Aaron Willette
After completing his B.Arch and a quick stint as an intern, Aaron decided to return to academia at his Alma Mater where he current runs the model shop and is a permanent guest-critic. His current interests relate to the intersection of craft, contemporary fabrication technique (analog and digital), and design.

![[WIND]STUDIO REVIEW / Prof. Bradley remarks](http://www.livearchitecture.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/msu0031-310x150.png)
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 [...]

LaN is now engaged in SESSION 2 of MSU’s Visiting Scholar Studio, [WIND]STUDIO. LaN director Monika WIttig is on-site in Bozeman OCT 5 – OCT 18.
MSU STUDIO RIDES ON WITH THE WIND
Session 01 ran with a focus on ‘TOOLS’ –exploring designs capable of interacting in extreme contexts (driven by GRASSHOPPER, a parametric plug-in for RHINO). [...]
