The Informed Wall: applying additive digital fabrication techniques on architecture (2006)
article⁄The Informed Wall: applying additive digital fabrication techniques on architecture (2006)
abstract⁄In this work in progress report we present the results of a four week design studio with graduate students as part of a broader research project on investigating digital additive fabrication processes and their implications on architectural design.In a simple test arrangement we realized the digital design and additive fabrication of two by three meters brick walls. The use of bricks, being the primary module for construction, and at a relatively coarse resolution, allowed us to concentrate on the design of completely programmed walls encompassing materialdependent parameters. The resulting prototypes depict the great potential of the integration of the design and the fabrication process. Nonstandardized solutions can be easily accomplished as the design data is directly used to control the fabrication process. In using an additive digital fabrication process, a novel architectural product of the kind ‘brick wall’ emerged, which could not have been conceived or fabricated manually.
