This issue of AD explores the working discipline of architecture as
it impacts the material culture within which it is always embedded.
An architecture of impact uses advanced digital techniques in such
a way that its material assembly supersedes its use of the digital.
Until now, this type of architecture has been formally and
materially bound by restrictive conventional methodologies, which
the digital project has moved from the scale of installations to
three-dimensional building-sized fabrications. Unless architects
turn to a new culture of making, architecture shaped by even
innovative digital technology will become irrelevant. Architectural
projects that are more subversive in how they are created and that
lose their digital signature have greater potential to be at the
forefront of the discipline's new materialisations. This issue
illustrates these ideas and their architectural impact.
