Week Three
Reading: Kolerevic B. 2003. Architecture in the Digital Age
Kolerevic described three fundamental type of fabrication techniques in the reading. Outline the three techniques and discuss the potential of Computer Numeric Controlled fabrication with parametric modelling. (150 words max)
The three differnet forms of fabrication techniques that been discussed in the reading are subtractive, additive , and formative. 1. Subtractive includes remove parts of a whole structure, through the surface and cutting off.For example laser cutting. 2. Additive is to build a shape into a layer, for example, 3d printing 3. Formative includes that using Computer Numeric Controlled machinery to put material in place, and to reshape it, so complex shapes can be produced. Computer NumericControlled fabrication is now very useful and popular in the industry and designs. It allows to achieve a goal of low cost, but efficient result. Also, to produce more complex designs. Paramatric modelling requires many iterations and variations , so by using Computer Numeric Controlled fabriction can directy reads the requirement, for next step fabrication.
