As an environmental = art consultants, our feeling is that if properly approached, Yale, or = any progressive university would embrace such a project. =20 The area of interest that we have been pursuing is 3-D modeling for = organic form in architecture. The potential of this is beyond = imagination as the G-Code Files can be scaled and manipulated within the = software and then outputed to CNC routers, laser cutters and milling = machines I have a CNC Router within ArtNouveau.ws and would be able to = provide prototypes for the proposal.=20 The objectives are three fold: 1. Creating a forum for artists and sculptures to be involved in the = design process of architecture. =20 2. Inviting Environmental consultants the opportunity to reach their = highest potential. 3 Provide a forum for Artists, Environmental Consultants, Computer = Science Experts, and Instructors of Architecture to interface. The = results would be the realization of a truly prime example of Sustainable = Architecture. The program would provide opportunity for the students to be involved in = every aspect of the project from modeling the originals in clay to = scanning the models, creating designs on 3-D Modeling Software to = working the CNC routers, to building the project.=20 Our proposal would include a video documentary, as well as assist in = locating the sponsorships. Our research show that funding is readily = available for such an ideal proposal.
