PRAXIS Pavilion, each year, investigates the possibilities of utilizing machining techniques, not only as means of making but as a design apparatus. The students of "Machining PRAXIS in Architecture" this year examined the possibilities of bending wood by the implementation of machining processes. They developed KERF and cut-through patterns and studied the wood's behaviour in specific sections and formations. Based on their studies, they designed and built the BENDSCAPE Pavilion. Opening: June 30, 5 p.m.
