  1. Digitally Fabricated HousingA production system for construction with digital fabricationProf. Larry Sass, PhDMIT/CBADepartment of Architecture

  2. Automated Design Generating geometric descriptions a → c Computable constraints Physical Visual (Eastman) (Stiny) Structural Form Assembly Spatial Material Ornamental Machine Style Functions – Measure, Cut & Assemble (Architects and Builders) Research in Design Computing a b c

  3. Low precision High variety Slow Production Each cut part is unique High cost Traditional Home Delivery Systems Stick build Factory build

  4. High precision Fast fabrication High variety Low cost Safe construction Digitally Fabricated Delivery Systems

  5. Project Data • One Room with Furniture • 114 Sheets of Plywood • 984 components • Approximate Cost $2,500 • Translate design model into construction components and fabricate in one month

  6. Start CNC Machine Material Stock 114 Sheets of Plywood Assembly with a rubber mallet only

  7. Distribution – Fabrication

  8. Digitally Reconstructing New Orleans Professor Larry Sass MIT

  9. Problems with replacement housing Existing Replacement Technology Modular home – no ornamentation FEMA Trailer – no ornamentation Desired Replacement

  10. Research Challenges Automate Design Production Computable constraints Physical Visual Structural Form Assembly Spatial Material Ornamental Machine Style Production system Integration of Visual & Physical constraints Digital Fabrication of a Cabin for New Orleans Summer 2008
