Modelling, Identity and the Post Digital
Homo Faber Modelling, Identity and the Post Digital
"An exhibition studying the link between physical and digital models in the design process. In this, the final volume of the Homo Faber triology on architectural models, the focus of the work is power of digital modelling and the digitally controlled model making. This volume, which includes interviews with a range of Australasian architectural and design practices, investigates the impact of affordable digital manufacturing and modelling tools on the design process. The words "post-digital' in the title are used to describe the present state in the design professions where digital and computer models are so ubiquitous that they are no longer a novelty and, for the first time, might begin to be critically assessed for their strengths and weaknesses." -- Book jacket.
