Our
world today has many changed than in the past all sorts of technology have been
invented to make work easier for human. Similarly, architecture design has
evolved and changed into many different ways to improve the quality of life and
fit lifestyle of people in a particular place at a particular time. Modern
architecture can be some of the most futuristic, colorful, innovative designs
ever. Modern architecture these days there are so many materials that
architects can use to create different effects on buildings. Architectural
pioneers such as Frank Gehry introduced the world to the extreme forms made
possible by digital fabrication. It is now possible to transfer designs made on
computer to computer-controlled machinery that creates actual building
components.
I
think Digital Fabrication enable people to make everything what they want and play
important roles in the parametric architectural models. Professor Chris showed
us sort of examples about parametric architecture the most fascinate to me was
working with robots. I thought it’s hard to actually make architecture with
robots due to many limitations. Although highly ambitious and sophisticated,
most attempts at using robotic processes in architecture might fail because of
the computer technology system or even the complete construction process. However
he presents in a clear way with very good examples the methods behind digital
fabrication. I have an idea with the possibilities the potentials of robotic
processes in architecture and to develop large scale building.
Buildings
no longer needed to be boxes, they could be created to fit spaces, to respond
to the local environment and to natural elements. This computer software for
digital fabrication should be designed to calculate intelligently how an
architectural construction might be built with bending and twisting as keep
maximum efficiency. Architect and designer are able to determine the possible
forms of the end design. Today, architects are challenged to innovate ways of
making the best use of space and location. I think parametric architecture can
be useful way that the space within a building is being used at maximum
capacity.

The challenge then for all the great opportunities that Gehry and others opened up for us, is that we must try to resolve how to these tools smartly and to refine the connection between our history and our future.
