FACTURING MATERIAL EFFECTS THINKING DESIGN AND MAKING IN ARCHITECTURE by Branko Kolarevic and Kevin Klinger
It is incredible how the dynamic of the practice of architecture has change in a few decades. The develop of new technologies has made our profession evolved in a more complex interconnection with other disciplines. Architecture nowadays is a "constant dialogue between design, engineering and fabrication".
I consider very accurate the comment of ShoP when compares the practice of architecture in the present with the one in the times of industrialization. In the end of the 19th century everything searched to be standard but nowadays we know how to work with standardization and we can transform the use of digital technologies in efficient way of customization. This is the evolution of the industrialization period into the digitalization of craft. This is an argument that I am using since a long time and one of the reason of why I am studying Digital Technologies.
SHoP is an smart studio who try to put together and questioning in many different projects all the factors that concern the practice architecture. Reduction of time, cost of construction, wastes, interface with other discipline, exploration of material, complexity of design and even the elimination of the contractor through the study of the assembly process.
They change the way of communicate architecture and how to interface with other disciplines, making all the building process more efficient. Is this the future of the practice of architecture? Have the traditional communication (plans floor, elevation, section) started to be obsolete? I can't give a right answer but I can affirm that today the traditional communication of architecture is not enough for us.
