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 fundamentfal type of fabrication techniques described by Kolerevic are subtractive methods, additive methods and formative methods. Subtractive method includes laser cutting and CNC milling. Additive method includes 3d printing. This technique uses a head that exrudes a material and layer. Formative fabrication is used to produce complex double-curved forms. Materials are applied by machenical forces and restricting forms. CNC is a technique using computer to do parametric modelling. Data can be directly tramsfferred from computer to model, which is quite convenient and fast in digital gabrication and production.
