Abstract

In this paper, we are presenting a number of research projects, which illustrate a design methodology developed by Research Cluster 6 (RC6) of The Bartlett’s Graduate Architectural Design program, positioned on the overlap between the digital (agent-based design strategies and generative form-inding) and analogue computation strategies (material behaviour and crafting techniques). In that context, RC6’s agenda argues for a new kind of craft, rooted in a thorough understanding of traditional, hands-on craft combined with expertise in contemporary computational concepts. In this regard, research presented in this paper primarily focuses on merging traditional, low-tech manufacturing processes with advanced technological approaches to design and realise new spatial concepts. Particular interest lies in novel combinations of analogue and digital methods in which handson and computer-controlled design and manufacturing operations do not just co-exist but overlap. The two projects presented in this paper, SanDPrint and FaBrick, address these premises through custom developed form-inding and fabrication processes, and test them through 1:1 scale prototypes.
