Measure allows us to understand relations; our body in relation to the environment around us, the proximity to objects, the reactions to threatening actions, the thickness of walls, the vulnerability to weather, etc. You are asked to explore the small volumetric differential between CLAUSTROPHOBIC and EFFICIENT work environments, between a heavy back pack and an unbearable burden, between a screen, a window, and a shield. The key tool for this project is a SECTION drawing that maps your body in relation to its immediate surroundings.

MIT Media Lab


So I was perusing the MIT media lab website and I hit paydirt. Check out these videos of life at the lab. Be sure to watch "Media Lab @ Night" It's really cute.
