“For the purposes of this short discussion, let us use the term ‘technologies of mediation’ in place of ‘representation.’ The problem with the latter term is that the re- of representation always lowers the discussion to a secondary status subservient to the content conveyed. The drawings, models, notations, texts, and calculations that the architect produces are not secondary to the building, but constitute the primary acts of architectural design as mediations translating between conceptual ideas, interpretive parties, and aesthetic articulation. . . .”

“A significant portion of the intellect and capital invested in architectural education over the last 10 years has gone into digital fabrication, as schools have acquired new computer numerical control (CNC) machines and faculty and students have experimented with them. The relevant arguments made by Bernard Cache, Greg Lynn, and Mario Carpo that inspired much of this work have become implicit for many instructors and some students. Always practice driven, these ideas have seeped into the profession, enabling an expanding array of pavilion projects and fabrication competitions. . . . ‘”

Mary BURR & Katie STRANIX: This seminar focused on applying digital techniques and advanced form-making strategies to an analog or manual tradition of construction with the most historically valued and stable material—marble. The goal of the seminar was to rethink the possibilities of marble for a new generation of progressive use in architecture—in this case as an architectural panel.

“Despite all the sawdust, digital fabrication continues to linger at the fringe of drawing, as an extension of an ongoing representational project, rather than engaging the weight of the issue. It’s time to be more strategic about our fitness goals. . . .”
