The Forest Cabin Workshop aims to design and construct, on a reduced scale, a new structure for the parking booth located in the campus forest at PUC-Rio, using a practical-reflexive approach. This includes digital modeling software and CAD/CAM tools: CNC Router and laser cutter. The course aims to develop architectural design skills through a dialogue between practical craftsmanship and digital methods. The intention is to create a theoretical-practical framework that provides autonomy in design practice, from ideation through sketches and study models to digital modeling and prototyping.
Requests for enrollment should be sent to gradarq@puc-rio.br between June 24th and 28th, 2024, with the subject line “WS_Forest Cabin.” Please include full name and student ID in the email body.
