The Color of Air: Integrating Code with Design-Build Education

The Color of Air is an installation that integrates code with design-build education to introduce students to the process of computer programming and to evaluate building performance. The project incorporates code, digital fabrication methods, and construction practices to create an interactive space that teaches students fundamental thermodynamic principles by way of their interactions with the structure. Through a project-based curriculum that adopts John Dewey’s experiential approach to education, the installation empowers students with tools and experiences for understanding, applying, and evaluating the impact of their designs within the built environment.
