DIGITAL FABRICATION 3D Printing | CNC Milling | Laser Cutting 3D PRINTING As we embarked on this three-week journey of digital fabrication, we began with 3D printing in the first week. Our goal was to create something that could be integrated with our other techniques in the weeks to come. To maintain flexibility and openness … Read more
Digital Fabrication – The Spine
Throughout this class, we explored three key fabrication techniques: Laser Cutting, 3D Printing, and CNC Milling. For each method, we were challenged to develop and prototype digital fabrication solutions for a Digitally Crafted Cabin project. For laser cutting, we used a slicing technique with acrylic. Inspired by organic shapes like spines and bones, we aimed … Read more
Echo Cabin
Our cabin project is a public space for relaxation and meditation, constructed in three parts. The CNC-milled topographic base serves as a parametric bench, designed to mimic natural terrain and provide a comfortable, seamless seating experience that integrates with the surroundings. This precision-milled base offers ergonomic curves and a natural feel. Above, a laser-cut roof … Read more

Tessellate – The Cabin
Design & Concept For our project titled “A Cabin for the Future”, we focused on designing an innovative roof structure utilizing laser cutting technology. We aimed to challenge ourselves by opting for a curved roof created through the technique of ‘folding’ an 8mm polypropylene sheet. This approach allowed us to explore the structural potential of … Read more
Rotating Ridge
DIGITAL FABRICATION 3D Printing | CNC Milling | Laser Cutting “Rotating Ridge” is an innovative facade module designed for a compact cabin, exploring the integration of three key digital fabrication techniques—3D printing to CNC milling and laser cutting. This design is trying to establish responsive shading system, structural framework and an visually harmonized façade. The … Read more
WARDED
The project Warded explores the concept of a “cabin of the future.” When considering future projections, it is difficult to estimate the exact needs and conditions; therefore, Warded is designed for flexibility. For its canopy structure, a traditional tile roof-like pattern is reimagined and interwoven further, like fabric, produced through laser cutting. A fractal tree, … Read more
CLING
The Concept when tasked with designing a cabin, we envisioned elegant, simple forms that would stand in contrast to the complex, organic shapes of nature. as we considered the landscape it would inhabit, we realized that this cabin wouldn’t just sit on the land—it would CLING to it, embracing the terrain in a dynamic and … Read more
