New Generation of Transformable Design: Student work on exhibit at Harvard GSD
Harvard Graduate School of Design’s fall 2012 semester included a new course taught by Chuck Hoberman, ‘Transformable Design Methods.’ Hoberman led his students through the principles that underlie transformable objects, giving them the opportunity to explore intersections between design, engineering and mathematics. As the course progressed, students gained insight through a process of constant prototyping and testing, culminating in semester-long projects to build their own physically transformative designs. You are invited to view their results at Harvard GSD’s Gund Hall, on display through February 24th, with an opening to be held on February 11th from 6:30-8:00pm.
