TEX-FAB was formed in 2009 by Brad Bell, Kevin Patrick McClellan, and Andrew Vrana. With Bell, McClellan and Vrana each teaching digital fabrication curriculum at University of Texas Arlington, University of Texas San Antonio, and University of Houston respectively, there was a pre-existing mutual interest and dialogue in place. What was evident out of these conversations was a strong awareness of similarity in situation. We all shared and were cultivating relationships with fabricators, academics, and professionals in the urban centers where we lived. We were all leveraging our universities as a bridge back into the community to strengthen ties for the purpose of applied learning opportunities for our students. We were all very interested in developing digital fabrication techniques and methods that investigated substantive and material realities. Our journey to this point was not impetuous. Our educational trajectories all started back with connections at Texas A&M twenty years prior. Over the following two decades, dialogue, and at times collaborative exploration, laid a framework that facilitated the formation of TEX-FAB.
