Two teams of 6 students each have parametrically designed two free-standing temporary wall installations for NYIT's Old Wesbury campus. The two sites are within the Library entry hallway of NYIT School of Architecture's Ed Hall. The 30" deep wall proposals will stand in front of the South Facing glazing and flank the entry doors on either side, careful to avoid any path of travel and/or entry blocking issues.
This 4 week final project asked students to apply a full design workflow with parametric design (starting with freehand sketches, engaging in quantitative analysis, optimizing for defined parameters using grasshopper and ecotect, and preparing for fabrication with shop drawings and 1:1 construction detail mockups). Proposals take into account both laser cutter bed size and proposed material constraints.
