Digital Fabrications: Architectural and Material Techniques

摘要: Architectural pioneers such as Frank Gehry and Greg Lynn introduced the world to extreme forms made possible by digital fabrication. It is now transfer designs on a computer computer-controlled machinery that creates actual building components. This 'file factory' process not only enables architects realize projects featuring complex or double-curved geometries, but also liberates from dependence off-the-shelf components, enabling of previously unimaginable complexity. Digital Fabrications, second volume in our new Architecture Briefs series, celebrates design ingenuity fabrication techniques. Author Lisa Iwamoto explores methods use calibrate with physical forms. The book organized according five types techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, forming. Projects are shown both their finished working drawings, templates, prototypes, allowing reader watch each fantastic construction unfold. Fabrications presents designed built emerging practices pioneer techniques experiment processes small scale do-it-yourself attitude.
