Topological Architecture (1998–2003)
Bernard Cache and Gilles Deleuze's theory of the Objectile was a catalyst for the digital turn in architecture, and remains to this day a powerful source of inspiration for digital design. The first essay presented in this chapter, by Stephen Perrella, is a précis of end‐of‐millennium design theory: the Objectile is an open‐ended notation which allows for infinite parametric variations; these can be directly fabricated using file‐to‐factory technologies, thus enabling the serial reproduction of non‐identical parts, where ranges of limited variations can be mass‐produced at no extra cost. Perrella noted that Cache's model of openness and indeterminacy in digital design notation could theoretically put design in the hands of the end‐user. The second essay by Cache highlights that Objectile's aim is to develop procedures, both software and hardware, that will make digital architecture a reality at an affordable cost for small architectural practices and the average consumer.
