ReD started teaching its Digital Fabrication course in the Workshop @ ESAP (Portugal)

The 2nd Internation Workshop on Advanced Digital Design Processes started on the 17h of March, hosted at the ESAP - Escola Superior Artística do Porto (Portugal) and organized by the architecture studios ReD and X-Ref, teaching independently.
ReD's course is a 3-day intensive class dedicated to introduce the students in the design and fabrication of complex geometries. Exploring an interactive relation between the digital and material worlds, the students already started developing their digital models with curved geometries and building the correspondent physical models.
