Lynn Woods Reservation partially burned last fall. Or so I learned this past weekend! I hadn't walked through a recently burned area like this previously. Lots of charred stumps and young plants.

This is so very sad. The Daily Table provides low cost healthy food to many across the Boston area. It's a great grocery store and will be deeply missed.

PLAttice! A new thing I've been working on: fully 3D printed and reversibly assembled lattices for building person-scale trusses. The light stand is squeezed between the floor and ceiling, and features a lovely cyanotype lampshade made by Sri Thumati. More info and files: zachfred.in/projects/pla...

I assembled a matboard lattice into a hyperbolic surface (truncated order-7 triangular tiling, or a "hyperbolic soccer ball") in my kitchen and it perhaps unsurprisingly takes up an absurd amount of space.

finally spending enough time with grasshopper that a few tidbits are sticking around!
also don't be shy about asking your framer for matboard scraps, it's a fabulous free learning substrate.
