BESPOKE FRAGMENTS

The project Bespoke Fragments seeks to explore and utilise the space emerging between the potentials of control through digital drawing and fabrication and the field of materials and their properties and capacities. Within this span the project is situated in a shuttling between the virtual and the actual, investigating levels of control and uncertainty originating from these.

Through tangible experiments the project discusses materiality and digitally controlled fabrications tools as direct expansions of the architect’s digital drawing and workflow.

The project sees this expansion as an opportunity to connect the digital environment with the reality of materials – and use realisation and materialisation to generate architectural developments and findings through an iterative mode of thinking about the dialogue between drawing, materials and fabrication.

Consequently the interest and mind-set behind the project and the experiments builds upon contemporary and earlier discussion about the relation between (digital) drawing and making in architecture.
