The process of creation in architecture to
day assumes that a conventional set of projections, at various scales from site
to detail, adds up to complete, tangible idea of a building. They are expected
to be absolutely unambiguous to avoid possible interpretations, and to function
as efficient neutral instruments and capacity for accurate transcription. The architectural
profession generally has identified architectural drawing with such projective
tools. Also the technological world has generally embraced the pragmatic
capacity of architectural drawing over its potential to construe a symbolic
order. In today paperless offices and studios, Bradley
Starkey believe that it is crucial to reflect more broadly on the uses and
functions of paper in the facture of architecture itself and the act of
drawing on paper does not simply involve an automatic transcription onto surfaces
of ideas that are already clear in the architect’s mind. To bring digital outputs from being simply ‘analogical
and replicas of paper representation’ it need to understand how the materiality
of paper has interfaced with the intellectual activity of architectural facture
in generating anagogical demonstrations.
From the articles “Transgression from
drawing to making” Bob Sheil also shows that the change from drawing to making
has caused the sequence of process that take ideas into the physical world, and
his work can now convert between representation and generation in real world. In
William J Mitchell’s article, “Design worlds and fabrication Machines”, he summary
that architects are increasingly taking advantage of computer and software to
support complex derivation processes, CAD or CAM fabrication machines make it
highly advantageous to invest in the production. By using the new tool designer
can more efficient exploration of familiar design worlds. As a result of the
afforded by the CAD and CNC export geometric or such as Stereolithgraphy and
Selective laser sintering, digital fabrication processes provide the way to
fabricate customized objects with lower cost.
