As we prepare for our grand opening of the todo center, we need to finish up some essential projects for the space. Instead of buying stuff online, in true Cada Casa fashion, we are going to build it ourselves. And instead of going DIY, we are embracing one our guiding principles — DIT: Do It Together. For this AIMS design/build sprint each participant is paired with a designer to create an object for the space. Together the team creates a design brief, budget, prototype, blueprints, and learn some basic woodworking techniques. These projects are designed to be completed throughout the month of December, with the majority of the work taking place during student’s Winter Break.
LIST OF PROJECTS:
-
If the pulga made speakers, it would look like these and would probably be called Ojos. Heavily influenced by Devon Ojas’ bookshelf speakers (with horn modifications), these dupes will be bring to life the the design-forward sound system that Cada Casa will be using in its DJ sets and Intro to HiFi workshops.
-
Are we serving dope beats or high fidelity espresso? Why not both? Coffee roasting and DJ classes have been part of Cada Casa’s DNA for years, why not make a portable cart that does both. Also, why not make it out of 80/20 extruded aluminum?
-
We teach sewing (Apparel Design Lab), and we also teach DJing (Beyond the Decks). Our classes need a very unique, modular, workstation that can be both. With a spot to store a controller, and another to store a sewing machine, these carts will be basis of our core curriculum.
-
We will definitely need a place to sit, relax, drink that espresso and listen to the DJ’s practice on cool speakers. Preferred aesthetics (and very real budget/time considerations) points us to simple pieces made of baltic birch.
