BENDSCAPE Optimized Manufacturing by Incorporating Tool Development and Machining in Design

Article published at the proceedings of the CAADRIA 2024 Conference in Singapore university of Technology and Design. Abstract: The abundance of computationally designed and manufactured architectural projects and pavilions in recent years has shifted the boundaries of architectural design and fabrication to a great extent. Hence, there exists a gap between the computational design and […]
