DME Lab Locker Room Production

A great deal of production can be accommodated in the architecture studio when students are not working on deadlines. Fortunately the [R]ed[U]x Lab team working on the DME Lab project were able to utilize the studio space to assemble and prepare their components. Keeping track of components, laying out joinery, and applying finishes require a great deal of work space. Sometimes it seems as though the team was having too much fun...

Digital Media Experience Lab Locker Room

One of the projects the [R]ed[U]x Lab team had the privilege to participate in was the renovation of a space at the back of the Digital Media Experience Lab. Converting it from a small office to a locker room for the facility staff as well as students from the Masters of Digital Media program. Storing everything from coats and backpacks to microprocessors and printing filament, the facility had to securely store materials, make accessible resources for the lab, and inspire a sense of creative innovation. The [R]ed[U]x Lab team led by Liam, Arnel, and Erik pulled off a fairly ambitious proposal.

This past year has been quite intense despite the dearth of updates and posts. With the end of the academic year, the [R]ed[U]x Lab has been literally building up a few projects that continue to attest to the Department of Architectural Science's commitment to provide students experiential learning opportunities and make connections to the greater community. This summer will be quite busy with two notable projects right off the start: the Bata Shoe Museum window celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary and the City of Toronto's Parklet project.

It's that time of year - let the fabrication and building begin!

Aqueous: Night Market 2016 Cart

The [R]ed[U]x Lab Night Market Cart 2016 was a big hit this year and showcased a great deal of inventiveness by the students on the team in their reuse of materials from the studio renovation currently underway in the Architecture building. It was quite a rewarding event for yet another generation of students from the department in the execution of the design.

Transportation is one of those logistic components that often gets thought of at the last minute. Fortunately the teams from Ryerson University's Department of Architectural Science were able to get the experience from past executions of the Night Market to get the works out of the shop and safely transported to the site (take note of the blankets!). When the teams brought all the carts to site the last minute checks on lighting and setup were done in preparation for the big event.
