ArchMachines is a studio in the Fabrication Laboratory at the Center for Young Innovative Creativity, Troitsk, Moscow. Together with our students, we explore experimental design methods using all sorts of materials and instruments that the FabLab can provide: 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser cutters, CNC mill, hot wire, etc. and every student has a personal computer with all the essential software. While using different methods like model making and digital fabrication, students become familiar with the history of art and architecture, as well as the basic techniques of architectural composition, and learn to work hands-on with various materials and tools

From Analog to Digital and Back

Workshop

May 2016 @FabLab Fizkunst

During this workshop, students created a digital, and then an analog, copies of the objects. First, everyone designed a prototype using foam and a hot wire, then scanned it with a 3d scanner. After that student edited the digital copies and prepared the templates for a laser cutter. When the templates were finished we assembled our new versions of the objects.

Summer Camp

@FabLab Fizkunst

In June 2016 we opened a summer camp for kids at the Center for Youth Innovative Creativity. During 10 days students were working with different materials and instruments creating individual and group projects and having fun! As a result, everyone designed a pop-up book with an original story and illustrations.
