Tentative Readings:

• Computational design of telescoping structures (ACM SIGGRAPH 2017)]
• A computational design tool for compliant mechanisms (ACM SIGGRAPH 2017) ]
• Interactive Design and Stability Analysis of Decorative Joinery for Furniture (ACM SIGGRAPH 2017) ]

Find someone in (or out of) the class who has to repair or create something.

• Ask them if you can watch them work on it. Ask them if you can video and/or take photos + audio record them.
• Before you watch them, write down your thoughts about how they will do this (like a recipe for the goal they have told you).
• Watch and record what they do. Ask lots of questions. Base your approach on our discussion and practice in class.
• The same day, write a short summary of what they did, noting in particular any trouble they ran into, and things that differed from your predictions
• By the assignment due date, turn in a document containing your before and after thoughts and some illustrative pictures.
