28.07.2011 after-meeting-Notes: Every statement should have a base and evidence. Put myself into position of a reader (addressed to a PhD level). What are the advantages of computer? What feedback can provide physical model to digital (sensual/physical (vs. mental)) Consider cases when more than one software are engaged into developing a project / more than one type of physical model. Develop a clear definition of roles of physical and digital parts of production. (Based on examples) At what point can digital replace physical? What are the roles of digital and what are the roles of digital model? Definition for ‘sensual’ List the things that physical can convey and digital cannot do. Visit Media Design lab – experience of project environment – (semi-physical?) Case study (to research): Richard Meier (Getty Center) 1 Mario Botta (light study and scale model - built pat of the building, that has changed the design) 2 Frank Gehry (from physical to digital) 3 Structure: 1. Section: Review the literature and theoretical role of Digital and Physical - Key roles of Physical modelling - Key roles of Digital modelling 2. Section: Case tests – examples and process Define and form a ‘study case model’ to test different modelling techniques for physical modelling, such as laser cutting and 3D printing, describe the outcomes and the processes. Do these techniques perform their roles? (3D – scanner - Reversed process)
