Abstract

Although CAD tools were early adopted in architec ture as drafting tools, it was not until the late 90s/early 2000s when the use of “digital tools” started to become inherit to architecture. NURB surfaces widely present in the so-called "digital architecture" allowed for a mathematical description of a space. This leads to a “morefluid logic of connectivity,” as Greg Lynn describes in “architectural curvilinearity” (1993).
