This studio was concentrated on study acoustics with space and design, conceptualizing through model making. The first few weeks were spent studying the basic principles of acoustics and then applying that knowledge to basic geometries we might often see or use in design, by making plastic foam and acoustic foam modular designs. We produced several absorption and diffusion sound panels, which would eventually be applying to our real life studio space, an open plan loud studio. The Murphy Building in the University of Miami is a hermetic studio space, with a large program, including guest jurors in pin- ups, students in desk crits.

EQUITABLE DESIGN: ACOUSTIC HELMET FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

This helmet is meant to be worn by sound sensitive users, specifically autistic children. This studio was dedicated to studying parametric and acoustic design. The studio cultivated different methods of design, sketching different geometries and ultimately fabricating an unusual and fun helmet. The helmet's interior and exterior surfaces function to do the work of sound containment and expulsion. Like many children who enjoy playing dress up, this is a tool for escapism, protection from sound and a container for child- like innocence, fun and curiosity. The models are hand cut with a wire cutter and milled with a CNC table.
