All Means Works — Works

A tool for hearing a model. Geometry is rendered as spatialized sound rather than pixels. Walls have a tone. Openings have a silence. A plan can be walked with the ears. Part of an ongoing effort to make CAD legible without sight, built with and for blind designers, not merely about them. [Replace with your own project text.]

Grasshopper definitions are XML. XML is text. Text can be written by anything that writes text. A generator that writes definitions directly, skipping the canvas, the wires, the eyes. [Replace with your own project text.]

A pipeline from digital model to raised line. Heat swells the ink. The drawing becomes terrain. Plans, sections, and diagrams read by hand, produced as routinely as a print to PDF. [Replace with your own project text.]

[Paper abstract or short description here once acceptance is confirmed. Do not publish before notification.]

A short series of hands-on workshops bringing students and colleagues up to speed on agentic, AI-assisted design media — vibe-coding small tools, cleaning up and fabricating drawings, and building the studio’s shared instruments in a trust-but-verify loop. [Replace with your own workshop text.]

Fifty-three functions. Draw a line. Loft a surface. Ask what is there. An agent speaks; Rhino listens. Modeling becomes a conversation, which means modeling becomes possible for someone who cannot see the viewport. [Replace with your own project text.]

The first piece. A command line writes JSON. A watcher reads JSON. Rhino obeys. No mouse, no menus, no screen required. The architecture of the architecture tools. [Replace with your own project text.]

From model to cut sheet to physical artifact, automatically. Models you can hold are models you can read with your hands. [Replace with your own project text — credit Ethan's contribution as appropriate.]

Tar Creek. Libby. Iron Mountain. Onondaga Lake. McCormick & Baxter. Sites where the supply chain ended badly. Students design lounges — places of rest — as instruments of remediation, reversing the supply chain one program at a time. [Replace with your own studio text.]

A CLT tower on Randolph Street. An 18-foot bay. The Chicago Frame, but in wood, a century and a half later. Paradise on the Prairie. [Replace with your own studio text.]

One hundred high school students. Studios, workshops, a day in St. Louis: the Pulitzer, CAM, City Foundry, the Arch. An annual introduction to the discipline, run as a small institution of its own. [Replace with your own program text.]

A table, but monumental. Built by committee, in the good sense. [Replace with your own project text.]

Where the frame began. An interactive map of the first generation of Chicago skyscrapers, built as a teaching instrument for a studio that asks what the frame becomes next. [Replace with your own project text / embed the map.]

Small machines for a river. First projects, first models, first drawings. [Replace with your own studio text.]

An annual cycle of exhibitions, workshops, and built objects for a school of architecture. Chaired, charted, chartered. [Replace with your own program text.]
