Prototyping is an essential part of the designer's repertoire.
Designers prototype their projects to test them, structurally,
aesthetically, technically. Whether the prototype works or not is
not the point: prototyping is the revelatory process through which
the designer gains insight. There are three reasons why
contemporary prototyping techniques are transforming the way
architects design and build: 1) at a miniature scale, prototyping
aids the architect in the presentation to clients of complex
spatial ideas; 2) prototyping empowers the architect-designer to
test and prove a building's feasibility, leading to more
open-minded construction solutions; 3) whether additive (3D
printing) or subtractive (robotic milling), prototyping can lead to
unexpected and exciting new possibilities within design as a whole,
across design disciplines, thus blurring the boundaries between
them in highly creative ways. The book has four sections: an
introduction that charts the rise of prototyping in design history,
more specifically in architecture; an overview of techniques; a
survey section featuring 30 projects, each presented through texts
drawn from first-hand interviews, on-site photographs and drawings;
and a reference section, which includes a glossary of technical
terms.
