Hold Up: Machine Delay in Architectural Design
This paper introduces an architectural design approach that is founded on working with digital fabrication machines, materials, and time. This approach is called Machine Delay Fabrication. Machine Delay Fabrication is contextualized within the lineage of productive delays using two examples from other creative disciplines. It is then contrasted with the “real-time” approach to digital fabrication research and practice. The concept of machine delay is outlined along with the three types of machine delay that are pertinent to digital fabrication. A new concrete 3D printing method called pointillistic time-based deposition, or dripping, is introduced as an example of Machine Delay Fabrication. The setup and variables of dripping are discussed, along with some experimental findings. Finally, dripping is used to demonstrate the constructive and aesthetic possibilities of Machine Delay Fabrication in architectural design.
