In conjunction with the Tech Talk Lecture Series, Situ Studio will be lecturing at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation. The lecture will present a series of projects which describe the role that CNC and rapid prototyping technologies have played in a wide range of projects from models and prototypes through full scale building components and installations.
For the AIANY Tech Lecture Series, Situ Studio will deliver a presentation entitled InterOperate, at the Center for Architecture. The talk will explore the possibilities for the integration of emerging digital design and fabrication technologies into everyday architectural practice and will also present recent work of Situ Studio.
For the Dumbo Arts Festival Situ Studio has installed the Solar Pavilion 2 in the Fulton Ferry State Park. We will also be hosting an open studio on Saturday and Sunday.
Situ Studio has been commissioned to design and build a pavilion for this summer's CitySol green arts and energy festival. CitySol is hosted by Solar One and will be taking place in Stuyvesant Cove Park, along the East River at 23rd Street. The pavilion structure is built as a simulation of a self-organizing system and CNC cut with a zero-waste mandate. An array of scales made from eco-friendly corn-starch plastic lines the interior. Seating and furnishings built with plyboo, is woven into the structure.
Mark Magazine featured Situ Studio's Solar Pavilion in an article titled Card Board City in the February/March 2007 issue.
