Fabricating Architecture | Robert Corser

This reading is a short summary of the advantages and difficulties associated with the emerging technologies of CAD / CAM designed and fabricated objects/products/buildings. Projects teams have new issues involving but not exclusive to ownership of information, risk, and quality of product. Also included in the reading was an article describing SHOP's Porter House project which is notable due to the fact that construction drawings were not used for a portion of the build. Instead the 3d model was sent directly to fabrication. An interesting pairing of articles that highlights both the highs and lows of the new technologies being used in building design.
