The DigiTile Project. Conceiving, Computing and Creating Contemporary Tiling Prototypes

The influx of computer-based design and presentation platforms, particularly in conjunction with computer aided physical modelling and manufacturing techniques, has stimulated a renewed focus on imaginative, innovative architectural product design. Essentially, the ambition of the DigiTile exercise was to stimulate the development of individual...

Towards Ornamatics

Computer aided modelling and drafting protocols in combination with new production technologies have contributed to wholly new ways of shaping building elements. Some examples of new techniques, which have recently become very successful in building production and in architectural design education, are: 3D Rapid Prototyping; 2,5D and 3D Milling...
