课程描述
Furniture making is in many ways like bridge building, connections holding posts apart with spans to support a deck. Many architects have tried their hand at furniture design, Wright, Mies Van Der Rohe, Aalto, Saarinen, Le Corbusier, and Gerhy.
本课程中，我们将通过参观波士顿美术馆的装饰艺术展来回顾美国家具制造的历史，并有来自剑桥的手工艺艺术家Mitch Ryerson为我们展示他的作品并介绍设计的过程。学生将学习传统木工技术，从使用手工工具开始，到电动工具，最后学习如何使用木工机械。
We will review the history of furniture making in America with a visit to the Decorative Arts Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and have Cambridge artist/craftsman Mitch Ryerson show us his work and talk about design process. Students will learn traditional woodworking techniques beginning with the use of hand tools, power tools and finally woodworking machines.
该课程需要学生制作一件家具，这件家具的设计由学生原创。制作出来的家具必须能够支撑体重185磅的人坐在上面；座面高度离地面12英寸；家具材料主要是木材。在课外时间，学生大约还需要花80个小时呆在车间里制作。
Students will build a single piece of furniture of an original design that must support someone weighing 185 lbs. sitting on it 12 inches off the ground made primarily of wood. Students should expect to spend approximately 80 hours in the shop outside of class time.
优先考虑已登记的建筑学学生，但是第一次集中务必出席。学生人数上限为12人，无特例。
Preregistered architecture students will get first priority but first meeting attendance is mandatory. Twelve student maximum, no exceptions.
