Vol. 2 of Proceedings of the 44th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture, edited by Alicia Nahmad-Vazquez, Jason Johnson, Joshua Taron, Jinmo Rhee, and Daniel Hapton, 71–80. Calgary: ACADIA, 2024.

This paper documents a collaborative digital fabrication project between an architecture firm and academic lab to co-design and co-produce an outdoor installation for a rural small town public library. In this project, computational design and digital fabrication serve as a connection between academia, practice, government, industry, and private enterprise, and foster the discussion of novel design methods and socio-technical futures for rural innova¬tions in architecture and construction.
