This book explores the connection between digital fabrication and the design build studio in both academic and professional studios.The book presents 17 essays and cases studies from well-known scholars and practitioners, including Kengo Kuma, Joseph Choma, Dan Rockhill, Keith Zawistowski & Marie Zawistowski, whose theoretical and practical work addresses design-build at various levels. Four introductory essays trace the history of the design-build movement, exploring the emergence of design-build in the pedagogy of the Bauhaus, the integration of technology into architectural design and the influence of the act of making on the design build studio. The rest of the book is divided into two parts; the first part looks at traditional pedagogical models for the design build studio, and the second part focuses on experimental methods used in design build programs. Together, these works discuss human behavior, social-cultural trends and motivations in socially minded studios which are based on a service-learning model. They look at component-based studios where innovation allows for an increased level of research and testing of new materials and assemblies, sustainable principles and zero energy prototypes.Illustrated with over 200 color images, this book will be a valuable resource for architecture students, educators and practitioners seeking to explore the impact of digital fabrication on the global design-build movement.

In diesem prägnantem Werk über die Theorie der Flachen Erde legt William Carpenter in einhundert Punkten dar, weshalb die Erde keine Kugelform besitzen kann.
