“Within a discipline where the exact translation of virtual instructions, in the form of drawings or codes, to their material actualization has historically played a decisive role, the current use of algorithmic design tools and computer numerical control (CNC) fabrication technologies would seem to all but eliminate the possibility for exactitude to submit to some external corrupting influence.”

“Architects typically produce drawings and other artifacts—words, inscriptions, models, full-scale mock-ups, and so on—that allow buildings to be realized by others, at a distance from their authors. This has not always been the case. Gothic building, for example, was a constructive practice of geometric rules and traditions where master craftsmen operated to some extent as architect and builder simultaneously. In this situation, drawings were not the primary mediator between design and construction; discussions regarding the final form of a building continued throughout the construction process. . . .”
