SWELL was an experimental installation completed in the spring of 2018. In this “Responsive Structures” Design Build course, students investigated the structural, spatial and organizational capacities of a heat-moldable plywood product manufactured in Finland. The course advanced a structures-based approach to material investigation. Reversing the prevalent use of plywood as cladding fastened to framing elements, students were challenged to develop a habitable, self-supporting system using only plywood.
