Many computer-aided designs never leave the design/development environment: What looks great on the computer screen, often is almost impossible to built. The book “Digital Fabrications” looks to bridge the gap between the digital representation and building, affording a hypothetical seamless connection between design and making.
It is now possible to transfer designs made on a computer to computer controlled machinery that creates actual building components. This “file to factory” process not only enables architects to realize projects featuring complex, even double-curved geometries, but also liberates architects from dependence on off-the-shelf building components, enabling projects of previously unimaginable complexity: design-build experimentation at a one-to-one scale.

The book is organized according to five types of fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming.

Computer hardly assists our design masterpiece to be new and spectacular with any form. Design will become more fantastic with technology. Hope this is will be the right way for designer future.
