Architecture, College of Design

Material Investigations showcases selected student work from the ARC 435 Materials & Methods of Construction course during the Fall 2025 semester. The exhibition foregrounds material inquiry as a critical mode of architectural thinking by investigating traditional building materials in non-traditional ways.

IN:SPACE Experiential Lighting Workshop with Patrick Ethen

Feb 16, 2026, 3:00 PM – Feb 18, 2026, 7:00 PM
College of Design, Interiors

Join Patrick Ethen for an experiential lighting workshop that explores light as an architectural and perceptual material. Rather than functioning as illumination alone, light is treated as a structural element that organizes space, directs attention, and shapes bodily orientation. Through rhythm, repetition and temporal sequencing participants will experiment with how light constructs spatial logic and influences sensory experience.

In:Space Dynamic Textiles Workshop with Virginia Melnyk

Feb 23, 2026, 3:00 PM – Feb 25, 2026, 7:00 PM
College of Design, Interiors

This workshop explores space as an elastic and transformable condition shaped through material, body, and movement. Through hands-on making and collective experimentation, participants will work with Virginia to explore how lightweight and transformable structures stretch, fold and adapt to human presence, constructing spatial experience through movement and touch. Exceptional projects from the workshop will have the opportunity to be featured in the final IN:SPACE gallery exhibition, presented in dialogue with the visiting artists' own work.

Lecture and Workshop Barry Wark: The Architecture of Ecology

Feb 27, 2026, 4:00 PM – Feb 28, 2026, 6:00 PM
Architecture, College of Design

Barry Wark explores architecture as a materially dynamic, ecocentric practice, conceiving buildings as assemblies of parts designed to weather, change, and be replaced over time. His projects use computational design and circular material strategies to foreground weathering as an active design force, allowing buildings to register their connection to the environment and create ambiguity between what is made and what emerges through climate and use.
