Crafting Material Interfaces

Due: Tuesday, November 13, 2011

For your final project, you’ll explore a specific set of materials, techniques, or applications in depth. The project could take many different forms, including but not limited to:

• A design project in which materials or materiality plays a central role.
• A series of documented material or technique explorations.
• A prototype for a new tool that could help others work with materials and technology.

The final project presentation will consist of short (10-15 minute) formal presentations that you will present in class and short online descriptions. Your presentation should include:

• A description and demonstration of your project.
• A survey of previous work in the area.
• A description and discussion of your construction process.
• Reflections on how you might expand the project with more time and/or resources.

Create a post on the site for your proposal and add it to the Final Project category. Your page should contain a short description of the project, documentation of and reflection on your construction process, and a downloadable version of your presentation.
