Thinking about Digital Technology and Fabrication_Jun Xu

Digital Technology and Fabrication.

Digital technology has changed the traditional methods of building performance and means to change the architect's understanding of space and form, also to achieve the integration with the effects of design and manufacture.
I think that digital technology in architecture is developing is fast. First, in my opinion, that digital technology is like a threshold transfer the mathematic algorithm to visualization world. I think computational vary which refers to the establishment of a specific relationship between multiple elements. And the combination of digital technology and fractal theory provides a powerful tool for architects to create complex rhythmic beauty with established the architectural form. With the development of digital technology, they can build a complex fractal geometry with generative the algorithm. As long as the program changes the initial state and parameters, the architect can get a variety of rich modeling.

Second is about digital fabrication, the design, and manufacturing process of efficiency and accuracy has worked improved before. The architect could use variables and parameters to design and explore the texture and behaviors of nature, to generate the ideal place space and shapes in the design process. The robotic fabrication and construction now are highly involved in the architectural realm. I think that robot involvement in construction is not just a change in human labor. But should be seen as a "transitional relationship" from the design stage to the construction phase. And this is also the reaction or reality of the visualize imagination.
