  5. Introduction: The course in T.U.C. Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  6. Geometry – Construction – Architecture. Geometry according to F. Klein Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  7. Geometry – Construction – Architecture. Geometry according to F. Klein Topology studies the properties left invariant during topological transformations, namely stretching and distortion. (Barr 1964, 3) Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  8. Geometry – Construction – Architecture: Relation between Geometry and Technical procedures Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  11. Variant and Invariant: Associative design “Philibert De l’ orne pavilion” 2001, design: Objectile Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  12. Construction Techniques and digital technologies: Basic categories • machining or material removal • deformation, molding and casting • fabrication or additive processes. Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  13. Construction Techniques and digital technologies: Digital fabrication laboratory in T.U.C. Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  14. Construction Techniques and digital technologies: Relation to Architectural Education Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  15. The Course “Associative Design”: axes • “Vertical” approach from design to fabrication • Associative design • Extensive use of physical models Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  16. The Course “Associative Design”: Design project • design a canopy out of plywood: • minimal use (e.g. define a space for 2 or more people), • be associatively designed, • constructed at the school’s Digital Fabrication Laboratory • solely wooden detailing with no other material involved Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.

  28. Conclusions • A fundamental relation between architecture, crafts and geometry is recognized, a relation which through the concepts of invariant and variation leads to a way of thinking based on continuity. Beyond the theoretical infinity of constructional and design capabilities provided by digital technologies, which very often lead to a designer’s “easiness” there is a need for a deeper and more substantial connection of Architecture with man and society. A new paradigm of construction and design of space is required, a new relation between geometry and fabrication where digital technologies will be the leading factor, reuniting the human body with the almost forgotten language of construction. Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.
