Innovation Lab: Cast and Pattern

This semester High School students in the Innovation lab are working on a project entitled 'Cast and Pattern'. Students are building prototypes of hexagonal wall tile systems. We are in the midst of the casting process, but to get there students had to learn how to digitally model and cnc mill their molds. Along the way we have talked about casting at the scale of Architecture and learned about polygonal geometry. The students have learned to laser cut, cnc mill, digital model and use a variety of hand tools. It has been a lot of fun and the students have built some beautiful objects. When we are done we have collectively made over 100 tiles.
