The two-part exhibition, curated and designed by Brian Price, Assistant Professor of Architecture, collects a wide range of works created by CCA's Architecture and Interior Design students over the past year.
Focused on physical artifacts drawn from the studio, the exhibition reveals the changing presence of mechanical and digital tools in the constitution of objects as designers' attitudes shift between the expression and overt repression of tool-legibility.
We've never had more tools: hardwares and softwares, grids and parameters, robots and routing bits. Means abound, sometimes becoming ends in themselves.
Tools shape, define, organize, and calibrate. Their expression can serve an aesthetic role, defining new approaches to form and ornamentation. Alternatively, their suppression can open unlikely aesthetic outcomes by covering the tracks left by tools. Tabled for your consideration are works demonstrating a range of approaches to tooling and legibility across CCA’s rich culture of making and material experimentation.
