Design processes incorporating digital fabrication are informed by the direct association between design and production, realised via a range of software and advanced machining procedures.
The digital exchange of information in this process has led to forms of architectural production that bring designers deeper into the complexities of making, assembly, and material formulation.
Digital fabrication techniques encourage new forms of collaboration with industry, challenge conventional methodologies, and suggest a future in which designers are much more engaged in the total process of architecture – re-associating design and making.
The aim of this studio is to develop an understanding of digital design and fabrication technologies as tools for managing a complex negotiation of material, geometric, manufacturing, and assembly constraints and the resulting effects.
