Author Description

High Definition will examine the capabilities of advanced technologies in design production through their impact on design theory, practice and greater levels of collaboration between design and manufacturing. Thus, it will permeate the entangled world between means and meaning and unravel a new understanding between the representation and production of architectural design. Key themes that will be explored include: High Definition: A critical essay on the evolution of higher levels of visual density and accuracy in architectural representation. What is Zero Tolerance? The consequences for the design and production industries of operating in a zero tolerance environment. Design through Production: The potential for flexibility and adaptation that high definition production offers design. Designers encompass: Feature designers to encompass: Carmody Groake, Factory Fifteen, Marc Fornes, Gramazio & Kohler, Zaha Hadid Architects, Liquidfactory, Scanlab Projects, Workshop AB3 and U23 live projects.
