A studio in which students develop a small number of useful design tools implemented in visual basic for Rhino. These tools will then be utilized in a short design charrette to demonstrate their functionality and the resultant designer’s empowerment. Deliverables for each student will be two fold: a simple, robust and scripted tool as well as a documented design project that utilizes this technique. The project and the student’s tools will be compiled on a course website.
