DFAB House: A comprehensive demonstrator of digital fabrication in architecture
Abstract
This paper describes the making of DFAB HOUSE, a multi-technology demonstrator of digital fabrication in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). While most individual digital fabrication technologies used to build DFAB HOUSE have been presented independently at conferences and in journal articles, this paper describes how, in concert, they amount to an architectural achievement that is more than the sum of its parts. To do this, the paper does three things: it describes the process of conceiving and delivering the overall project; secondly, it highlights challenges in implementation; and finally it discusses the significance of DFAB HOUSE in the context of a rapidly transforming architectural research and practice.
