ozlab 2024 at modus camp.

Each fall, the modus studio team heads into the outdoors for our annual camping trip and OzLab design/build exercise.

The idea of OzLab is to split into teams and, using native, vernacular, found, and provided materials, quickly design and build structures focused on capturing light, space, and views within the Ozark context. This year, teams were provided wood dunnage and stickers left over from a recent construction project nearby to be utilized as the primary material. Two teams were allowed three hours to narrate, sketch, and construct. These temporary exhibits allow the modus team to stretch their design legs, constructing armatures that evoke thoughts regarding craft in design and construction derived from simple means.
