Digital production

New possibilities

Today, a production hall is no longer dominated by manual labour, but replaced by automated processes which work digitally and operate with high precision.

This shift in production has changed the way we build. In a modern building process digital drawings are used throughout, from design to production, which has brought architects, engineers and the manufacturers closer together.

Digitalisation makes it possible to introduce new architectural designs which used to be hard to realise. Today, thanks to the use of the computer’s ability to calculate and digitally controlled machines, this kind of design is possible.

Learning from other industries

Research-based industries are today operating at an astonishingly high technological level; some car manufacturers exclusively use robots in their factories. Such production promises great architectural potential.

By studying the use of digitally controlled machines by other industries, we can learn how to realise digital designs and complex geometries.

Thus, standardised component-based buildings can be replaced by individual mass production which allows unique architecture.
