Parametric design and digital fabrication are enabling
non-designers to mass produce non-standard, highly differentiated
products - from shoes and tableware to furniture and even houses.
The result of these newly available mass customization tools has
been a 'democratization' of design. Mass Customization and Design
Democratization is the first book to address this recent
phenomenon. Demonstrating how the considerable potential of these
tools can be realized in practice, it introduces essential
technologies and design approaches and provides numerous examples
of the latest, cutting edge work from leading design firms,
manufacturers and thinkers. The book examines what mass
customization means for architecture and the building industry and
investigates its impact on the sector's most commoditized
enterprise - suburban housing. Asking whether design
democratization is viable in the current context and exploring what
kind of mass customization is possible, useful, and desirable, it
poses fundamental questions about the authorship of design and the
functional and aesthetic quality of products designed by
non-designers. A highly designed book featuring over 200 color
illustrations, this is essential reading for professionals as well
as students taking courses in digital architecture, parametric
design, and mass customization.
