This book presents the state of the art in advanced customization within the sector of
architectural design and construction explaining important new technologies that are boosting
design product and process innovation and identifying the challenges to be confronted as we
move toward a mass customization construction industry. Advanced machinery and software
integration are discussed as well as an overview of the manufacturing techniques offered
through digital methods that are acquiring particular significance within the field of digital
architecture. CNC machining Robotic Fabrication and Additive Manufacturing processes are all
clearly explained highlighting their ability to produce personalized architectural forms and
unique construction components. Cutting-edge case studies in digitally fabricated architectural
realizations are described and looking towards the future a new model of 100% customized
architecture for design and construction is presented. The book is an excellent guide to the
profound revolution taking place within the fields of architectural design and construction
characterized by computational tools advanced fabrication means and custom-made
high-performance architecture.
