The concept charette was an individual exploration of digital modeling techniques using Rhino. The charette defines each project as having a completion deadline of 24 hrs, from concept to design in 1 day. The focus of the exercise was link physical design [sketching_model building] with digital production, in an attempt to explore  ideas of space, light and form, detached from a formal design approach. The projects were free in the sense they did not have a specific scale, program or site.              The product is an expression of its process of design and construction of the product, where the digital and physical tools become one in itself.
