Description
In the wake of the second digital turn in architecture (Carpo, 2017), this talk questions the opinion of Gershenfeld (2012) that ‘’a new digital revolution is coming, this time in fabrication.’’ It questions the widespread use of digital fabrication from industry and investigates the impacts on architecture and society. It's not a pure architecture lecture but multidisciplinary research which tackles the 3D printing industry as we know it today. Specific examples from digital software such as processing would be given in order to demonstrate how the new tools give computational power to architects and produce a new architecture. The lecture debates the above phrase through different approaches towards digital materiality, the use of digital tools in fabrication, the goal of mass customization-collaboration and the relation of design with making. Moreover, It searches the origins and the development of the idea of digital fabrication from antiquity to 21st century. Specific examples are presented towards the prospects of digital fabrication regarding its opening to the society, its further development of embodied technology, and the overcoming of temporal limitations of cost, speed, and quality. Finally, it concludes with useful findings and questions for further research in the field.

Intervenant
- GDGeorge DrakontaeidisGeorgios Drakontaeidis is a postgraduate student at Bartlett School of Architecture in March Architectural design programme (2018-2019) and scholar of Lilian Voudouri Foundation. He is a member of Research Cluster I of Bartlett, which explores automated design and fabrication systems, with a focus on robotic 3D printing technologies and their application on an architectural scale. Georgios also holds a diploma in Architectural Engineering from N.T.U of Athens where he graduated achieving a first honours award. In July 2018 he submitted his diploma project which was the first 3D-printing project at his university. Throughout his undergraduate studies, he received a number of significant awards and scholarships. His contribution to the wider architecture and research community is ever active through his participation in international conferences and architectural workshops.
