https://doi.org/10.21834/ajbes.v1i1.17Abstract
This article discusses an industry collaboration where interior design students designed and built light fixtures that exemplified a company’s product line via social media. The design challenge was to conceptualize and build a fixture that uses sustainable materials that exemplifies Groovy stuff’s product line. Groovy stuff provided the class with a bill of materials kit and feedback via Facebook. Student’s final fixture prototypes were informed by research, collaboration with Groovy stuff via social media, parametric modeling, and digital fabrication techniques.
