Brandon Clifford and Wes McGee are to instruct the Oganic Fabrications Workshop at the University of Michigan Taubman College on Saturday and Sunday January 28–29, 2012.

This second installment in the workshop will build on work done in the first workshop, though participation in the first is not a per-requisite for attending.  The Organic Fabrications workshop is dedicated to advancing complex modeling and making of organic geometries.  We will understand the principles of surface curvature, as well as promote the control of these principles to resolve our geometries with constraints.  The workshop will then translate these principles into fabrication methods.  T-Splines for Rhino will serve as the platform for these operations.

If you are a member of the TCAUP community and would like to attend, please sign up here.  Space is limited.

We are pleased to announce that “The Malleable Manifesto no.1″ has been published by Plat Journal in issue 1.5.
