Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Mo Zell & Marc A. Roehrle
While traditionally design/build exercises have been implemented at the scale of a space or a building, this exercise, at the scale of an object (and executed by an entire class of junior level students), delves deep into issues of intimate user interaction and tectonics. Students developed a project from conception to fabrication and finished with a better understand of the relationship between ideas and making. The students were asked to design, in teams of two, a transformable toy for a child while using a limited vocabulary of shapes and a single material palette of 5/8” Baltic birch plywood. The deliverables were not models, but the actual toy.
