About

The FABLab is An interdisciplinary facility and resource for the Faculty of Architecture and a laboratory for the exploration of digitally driven design, prototyping and manufacturing.  The FABLab fosters a space which students and faculty are better equipped to explore the rich potential of digital design through material operations, and is dedicated to cultivating methods of communication in the built environment by critically collaborating with students and emerging technology. 

Research focuses on fabrication and the link between digital forms of craft weaves through multiple stages of the design process. The FABLab supports the programmatic interaction between critical components related to Architecture/Construction/Engineering (ACE), modelling, material studies, ecological mapping, systems articulation, through to visual theory.  Byway of developing revenue generating relationships with the local design community the FABLab works to communicate the potential applications of digital craft between academia and industry.
