Automatic Revisited: Fabricating Sustainable Concrete Elements

Automatic Revisited:
Fabricating Sustainable Concrete Elements

Project by Jesse Colin Jackson and Luke Stern

This two-part exploration began with the deconstruction and re-creation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian Automatic system. Following this, an original family of modular elements permitting a high degree of variability using a limited number of unique parts was developed. Both phases of the project culminated in the gallery exhibition of full-scale artifacts.
