Digital Processes: Planning, Design, Production maps the full chain of digital influence on contemporary architecture — from parametric design tools and media-supported workflows through to computerised fabrication and industrialised construction techniques.
About This Book
Architecture has been reshaped by digital technology at every stage of its making, yet the implications of that transformation are rarely examined end to end. This publication by Moritz Hauschild and Rudiger Karze addresses exactly that gap, tracing the digital process chain from initial measurement and design through to production and construction. It confronts the questions that practicing architects and design studios face daily: how digital methods change the nature of architectural authorship, where computational tools create genuine advantage, and how firms of different scales can integrate these approaches into professional practice without prohibitive cost. Essential reading for architects navigating the relationship between digital design methodology and built outcomes.
