[AG] Since I’ve proven that these materials can be used in the additive manufacturing technologies, it lends itself to be used in this really heavy digital and computational design process. Here is where I’m taking paper and plastic and letting it respond to a series of variables including lighting conditions, view conditions etc, while giving back a real-time feedback quantitatively of the amount of paper and plastic being used in these modules that it’s laying out. Specifically here it is showing how it automatically lays out those modules as you’re changing those variables. This process of additive manufacturing is, another great thing about it is the connection between the digital and the physical world now is becoming very close and this relationship is changing everyday.
We can now take this form that we design digitally and start to imagine it in real life, very easily, and prove the computational, performative qualities of our design.
