This seminar explored the potential of digital technologies (i.e. CAD/CAM) in form generation.   The simple form of a plane was further complicated in iterations by slight modification steps of pushing and pulling.  The final object was then scaled relative to human height and program, resulting in a habitable wall.  For final presentation, a full-scale piece was fabricated.
