Living Architecture Fall 2008 Pratt

The MoMA hosted an exibit entitled "Design and the Elastic Mind" recently. The show featured some invaluable examples of responsive kinetic systems. While mostly digital, these systems featured various methods of user input, processing, and non-participatory output, one example set itself apart from its counterparts by producing something tangible as a result of the user's interaction. "Sketch Furniture" produces prototypes of physical objects as they are "sketched" in the air three-dimensionally with a stylus. The result is a tangible extension of the process; isometric form born from intuitive gesticulation.
