DIGITAL WORKFLOWS IN ARCHITECTURE Design Assembly Industry

Description

The logics of digital processes in architecture have begun to structure the way that architects design, the way that builders build, and the way that industry is reorganizing. The process of architectural design has become a complex workflow. At the core of the shift toward more expansive forms of digital production within the design and construction industry is the integration of communication through digital networks. The goal is to develop a continuous, easily accessible and parametrically adaptable body of information that coordinates the process from design through a building’s lifecycle. Organized around the key fields of Designing Design, Designing Assembly and Designing Industry, this book is a reference work on digital technologies as key factors in architectural design, fabrication and workflow organization. It presents essays and case studies from some of the leading voices on the topic and will be released in conjunction with a conference at The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) at Columbia University.

Scott Marble, a founding partner of Marble Fairbanks, is Director of Integrated Design at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP).
