Includes bibliographical references and index.
A brief history -- Fabricating architecture in the digital age -- Getting started -- Digital tools and machines for fabrication -- Generation : CAD ; NURBS ; Meshes ; Curvilinear formations ; Parametric and generative design ; Algorithmic architecture ; Morphogenesis ; Integration : Hybrid techniques ; Nonstandard design and mass customization -- Digital fabrication principles ; Laser cutting ; CNC milling and routing ; Rapid prototyping ; 3-D scanning ; Robotics -- Strategies : Nonlinearity and indeterminacy ; Digital tooling ; Contouring ; Folding ; Forming ; Sectioning ; Tiling ; Future fabrication of architecture -- Conclusion -- Glossary.
With the increasing sophistication of CAD and other design software, there is now a wide array of means for both designing and fabricating architecture and its components. This book focuses on the possibilities for architecture that can be achieved with all the different technologies and techniques available.
