The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair was the largest international
exhibition ever built in the United States. More than one hundred
fifty pavilions and exhibits spread over six hundred forty-six
acres helped the fair live up to its reputation as "the
Billion-Dollar Fair." With the cold war in full swing, the fair
offered visitors a refreshingly positive view of the future,
mirroring the official theme: Peace through Understanding. Guests
could travel back in time through a display of full-sized
dinosaurs, or look into a future where underwater hotels and flying
cars were commonplace. They could enjoy Walt Disney's popular
shows, or study actual spacecraft flown in orbit. More than
fifty-one million guests visited the fair before it closed forever
in 1965. The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair captures the history
of this event through vintage photographs, published here for the
first time.
Design, DIY, and computer-controlled fabrication are a powerful
combination for making high-quality customized things. Written by
the founders of the architecture, design, and research firm Filson
and Rohrbacher, this book takes you through the basics of CNC
fabrication, the design process, production, and construction of
your own furniture designs. Through their AtFAB series of projects,
accompanied by an overview of digital techniques and design
thinking, this book introduces the knowledge and skills that you'll
find widely applicable across all kinds of CNC projects. Not only
will you learn how to design, fabricate, and assemble a wide range
of projects, you'll have some great furniture to show for it! While
3D printing has been grabbing headlines, high school, college,
library, and other public makerspaces have been making things with
CNC machines. With a CNC router, you can cut parts from strong,
tactile, durable materials like wood. Once you have your design and
material, you can set up your job and let it run. When it's done,
you can put the project together for an heirloom of your own. While
3D printing can make exciting things with complex designs, CNCs are
the digital workhorses that produce large-scale, long-lasting
objects.
