Design Futures Lab is a teaching and research lab and a very hands-on environment. Making is integral to all the disciplines of the Built Environment through the creation of physical artefacts that support the analysis, understanding and design of our environment.
Our staff are constantly engaged with users of our space which means we are not readily available to discuss materiality, fabrication techniques or file preparation via phone or email students and researchers should come and speak with staff in person regarding these matters.
UNSW is creating the largest network of connected makerspaces and workshops in Australia. A network of genuine collaboration and shared values. These values are centered on the principle of barrier free access to tools and tech for all Students, Staff and External Partners.
