The continued advance of BIM, scripted processes, and computational design has opened new territories of work for architects. These opportunities reside not only in digital techniques for the fashioning and deployment of material, but also for the description and communication of these material relationships. The class attempted to operate within a series of digital and physical migrations: between different software and geometric platforms, between design and documentation, and between extensive properties (weight, size, form) and intensive performances. Focusing on a digital workflow that can deliver true innovation in building systems, the work of the class is supplemented through the facilities of the Avery FabCon and Carlton Laboratories to develop proof-of-concept prototypes. To this end, the class presented a framework for robust prototyping, using a plurality of software to encourage students' proposals through multiple stages of design, prototyping, and simulation. Projects were encouraged to move towards a multi-modal operation in both materiality and scales of production. Pluralism was seen as a framework in which a manifold of software, materials, and manufacturing processes could be brought into a productive nexus.
