Interview: M’ling

April 2, 2014

Increasingly, Waterloo Architecture students and graduates are employing their extensive skills towards alternative design, fabrication, and technological initiatives that deviate from the conventional realms of architecture.

M’ling is the newest creature, brought to life by graduate student Chanel Dehond. By injecting a little...
