Conclusions from the first lecture:

This move to regain control of both the creative AND the constructive process can be assisted

through the use of CNC fabrication machines. By giving the designer greater and more direct

control over the fabrication process, the architect resumes an important role within the

PRODUCTION part of the DESIGN CYCLE.

The PRODUCTION and DESIGN CYCLE

Most digital architects are still using the computer and specifically CAAD software to generate

the construction documents and drawings. The act of design is still conducted in the

traditional manner using traditional tools.

Those architects who are exploring the creative possibilities of CAAD and using the digital

medium as a design tool are understanding the potential for a complexity in design that was not

previously acheivable.

Those architects who are exploring the creative possibilities of CAAD and using the digital

medium as a design tool are understanding the potential for a complexity in design that was not

previously acheivable.

With this complexity also comes the issue of build-ability.

With this complexity also comes the issue of build-ability.

The use of CNC Fabrication machines is therefore most often not an experiment unto itself, but

a by product of the complexity of digitally driven design. There are many architect who are now

using CNC fabrication techniques as part ofhte construction process of thier buildings.

However there are few who also actively incorporate the basic principles of the technology into

the design of the building.
