課程描述
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.
本課程回顧美國傢俱製造的歷史，參觀波士頓美術館的裝飾藝術展，並有來自劍橋市的藝術家／巧匠Mitch Ryerson展示作品和談論設計的過程。學生學習傳統木工技術，從使用手工工具開始，到電動工具，最後是木工機械。
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.
學生要製作一件原創傢俱，能够支撑體重185磅的人坐上離地面12英寸，主要材料是木材。預期學生課外大約要花80小時在車間。
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.
