Book excerpt: "In order to encourage a break from the rigors of purely architectural pursuits yet remain true to nurturing creativity and developing new technical skills, students were encouraged to "play" with notions of design and design technology in ARCH175. One of the projects for the course asked that students adopt the laser cutter in cutting, folding, and scoring from a single sheet of 11"x17" paper a representation of architecture or architectural education. ... Another component of the course was the comprehensive design of a toy. ...students not only explored the design of the toy itself, but also the use, marketing, packaging, and even disposal of their designs. ... The following projects document the output of students who engaged play within and without architectural context."--P. [3-4].
