Going into the digital age, we can see the pros and cons of
using Digital model in architecture design. However, it still cannot totally
replace physical model which provides direct means to understand a
three-dimensional design and also showing the relationships between material,
structure, space and proportions. Basing off this topic, these Singaporean
researchers started to study how robotic technology and its fabrication can
bridge these the analog and digital design, integrating the advantages of physical
models in digital design.
They separated the research into scientific perspective on
the integration of the computation , fabrication and material systems, as well
as a design perspective that studies how the production condition has been
changed on architectural design.
The use of Grasshopper has also been a great help for them
to approach computation as it visualize the intangible coding for architecture
students for them to understand the complex flow structures and logic in
digital processing.
Throughout this research, they discovered that students can
develop computational design strategy which sharpens the students awareness for
their conceptual interdependence. The physical working model from robot
fabrication helps students to quickly look into the constructive and structural
aspects of their design which would further reintegrate into the computational
design. Even though it's a work on programming and computation, this whole
process now should be considered as a creative design process independently.
