Thing Lab was a year-long, hybrid, art and design studio class conceived and taught by
SAIC full-time faculty Dan Price (Sculpture) and Tim Parsons (Designed Objects). The
course utilized The School of the Art Institute’s position as a cross-disciplinary institution
with strong art and design resources to tackle the convergence of art and design head-
on.
The Com(m)a project is devoted to intensive research, design, and dedicated action towards the development of new templates and scenarios for rapidly deployable communities. SAIC in its multidisciplinary pursuit for progressive innovation, is a force. By Harnessing the momentum of spirited students from all fields of study and the SAIC's tireless faculty, the studio is thoughtfully and rigorously developing new methodologies for constructing community infrastructure in areas of tragedy and social displacement.
