利记sbo_CoAD Works in Progress
利记sbo_CoAD: Works in Progress explores the ways that technology is changing how we design. The in-progress works on display challenge convention and imagine the possibilities that lie ahead at the intersection of design and technology. The exhibition features the work of students from the College of Architecture and Design at Lawrence Technological University.
Constructing Futures
Constructing Futures will highlight the future of construction and design for the built environment, with a particular focus on robotics, additive manufacturing, computational design, and AI. The installation, exhibition, lectures, and workshops will serve as a platform to facilitate crucial conversations around these emerging technologies, bringing together stakeholders from cultural institutions, universities, and industry partners. Mass production and industrial robotics emerged from the automotive industry in Detroit. Building on this rich history, the exhibition will delve into the transformative potential of robotics, additive manufacturing (AM), computational design, and artificial intelligence (AI) specifically for the built environment. The exhibition also serves to expand the influence of and lay the groundwork for conversations around construction innovation and how we might build more intelligently in the future.
Curious Collection
Curious Objects & Collections focuses on whimsical, playful objects that function individually and in stacked arrangements. Guided by precise prompts, 利记sbo product design students Katelyn Wolowiec, Hannah Meyer, Lauren Fife, Megan Miller, Jacob Heyer, and Alyssa Evanson created objects that harmonize within shared spaces. The collection features a playful, yet functional series exploring innovative additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing and robot sculpting. Presented in curated stacked towers, the exhibition allows for dynamic reconfigurations, inviting viewers to explore the endless possibilities of design.
