Course Description
Paperwork – Studies in Pulp
Paperwork will be a hands-on seminar where students apply molded paper pulp techniques to structural and architectural problems. Molded pulp has been used for years to make strong and intricate shapes in the packaging industry. It has received little consideration, until now, within the field of architecture. Paper pulp and its associated processes of fabrication hold promise for architectural applications. Some potential uses are wall and decorative panel systems, architectural fixtures, acoustics, insulation, furniture, sculptural detail, model making and others. Because of its potential, in this seminar, we will conduct thoughtful exploration of this material and its capabilities.
