ABSTRACT

Projects, from panels to hardware and structure, characterized by a high degree of innovation and complexity are digitally fabricated at 3form. The working process we use is a well-defined, coordinated, and collaborative structure that allows the architects at 3form, the architect/ designer, and the contractor to make “real-time” design decisions. This Design-Led-Build process is driven jointly and collaboratively by architects at 3form and architects outside of 3form (figure 4.2). The result is an equilibrium that addresses the needs of all parties involved, producing a balance between cost and aesthetics – a cost-effective, highly innovative project.
