By melding parametric design and experimental fabrication, fourteen designers transform common materials into provocative proof-of-concept architectural systems. The exhibition includes material artifacts, full-scale prototypes, structural studies, a ceiling installation and two wall installations. These fragments tap into the latent complexity of materials through an iterative process of discovery and refinement.

Designers:

Umesh Dhimal, Tom Foley, Kevin Hinz, Jim Hinze, James Lewis, Jodi Masanz, Peter Nguyen, Paul Pedretti, Dace Russell, Kevin Schneider, Michelle Sletten, Brandon Spoehr, Andy Stigen, Colleen Stuber, Prof. Kyle Talbott

The propagation of the component creates a single rib. There is a total of 18 ribs in the installation.
