Abstract
Digital fabrication processes consist in a parametric designing and in a products manufacturing by computer numerical control (CNC) machines. At the design stage the architectural object can reach a great grip with the environmental and cultural context, because the parameters measured by the environment become the engine of the virtual model. In this way a change of external parameters results in a change of the project. In this paper the possibility to optimize, through this method of project generation, is investigated. Parametric design increase the performance of the architecture in terms of structural, thermal and functional needs, with a reduction in resources, matter and energy, ensuring greater sustainability. In the production stage the use of CNC machines ensures the realization of the objects designed with parametric methods that for intrinsic reasons cannot be standardize objects and thus they are unique. This feature of digital fabrication could radically change the industrialized society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
