Robert Gordon, Vice President and General Manager of Hitachi, came to Pratt today to view the work produced by the studio thus far. The meeting gave the class an opportunity to display the SEM-related work to Mr. Gordon and to demonstrate the machine's potential when applied to an architectural scenario. The work provides a new perspective for Hitachi, who has this particular model at several other schools throughout the country including Duke and Cornell. The applications so far have all been in the material engineering and microbial science realms. We (Pratt Institute) are the first school of architecture to use the machine in an architectural study.

Here are some images of the spread from today (only a small sample from the total body of work)
