| Abstract Scope |
San Fratello’s research revolves around the convergence of digital, ecological, and building component design in architecture. She believes design for the 21st century absolutely must incorporate sustainable methods and take advantage of local and ecological material resources. In an era of throw away consumerism and over consumption, excessive energy use, too much waste, and toxic materials, designers have a responsibility to the public and the planet, to change our mindset about what our buildings are made of, how they function and to inform the manufacturing processes used to fabricate architecture. This presentation will highlight the innovations from Emerging Objects in their unique approach to materials, sizes, and 3D printing. |
