Case Studies in Digital Fabrication
This chapter exposes projects and project vignettes that point to an intimate relationship between the designing and making of architecture. Rather than limit the discussion of digital fabrication to advanced cutting‐edge processes, it includes instances of advanced uses of building information modeling (BIM) that are integrated in the design process in order to facilitate construction. BIM for constructability is a common theme of “big BIM” (BIM for interoperability and collaboration), and big BIM tends to emphasize documentation coordination and construction. These case studies are intended to illustrate the recursive nature of BIM for design, considering issues of constructability in the context of informing design processes and outcomes. A more expansive paradigm of the relationship between data‐rich digital design and construction may encourage more architects to explore greater design freedom, whether applied to structural expressionism, satisfying higher performative standards, or meeting more restrictive construction constraints.
