The ODDS & MODS elective courses began in January 2024 with a skill building IAP workshop. Entitled, TOOLING UP for Material Circularity with ODDS & MODS this two week course enabled students to explore computational frameworks for the characterization, design and assembly of geometrically irregular forms.

Throughout the course, students worked in groups to design a building material reuse center. Beginning with an existing architectural model as a material repository, students deconstructed the model, then characterized and inventoried its constituent materials. The available materials and an array of digital tools informed the design of the reuse center.
