Fabricating Architecture

Selected Readings in Digital Design and Manufacturing

Robert Corser

In this increasingly digitized world, any investigation of architecture inevitably leads to considerations of fabrication. But despite its omnipresence in contemporary practice and theory, digital design remains a fluid concept, its development and current influence discussed in scattered articles.

This concise reader brings together twelve key essays illustrating the full range of ideas embodied by the term. With essays by important critics, theorists, and architects such as Martin Bechthold, Achim Menges, Amanda Reeser Lawrence, and Kiel Moe, Digital Design and Manufacturing represents contemporary digital design thinking in architecture.

Editor Robert Corser’s insightful introduction and postscript, and his brief analysis of each essay guides readers through the lively debate surrounding this topic, making this a wonderful reference on digital design and manufacturing for faculty, students and practitioners in design and design-related fields.
