Data-Driven Fabrications Connecting With Indiana’s White River

Kevin and his students explored the relationship between technology and nature. The seminar studied the geographical history and cultural significance of the White River to Central Indiana and formulated creative responses to collected data. Students used computer-aided design to construct architectural art installations along the White River at five major stations: Daleville, Mounds State Park, Noblesville and Indianapolis Arts Center, and a major showcase of the students’ work was featured at the Minnetrista Center. The students built their installations with materials provided by their Indiana-based manufacturing partners, including Indiana Limestone Fabricators, Inc. and Frank Miller Lumber Company. Students also kept an online journal about their course activities, and crafted their process into a documentary.
