JITTER The Humanization of Digital Manufacturing Despite mass productions success in providing most of its residents with adequate housing in a cost-effective way, it can be argued the monotony of mass housing loses some of the richness and individual diversity found in one-off villas or houses. The ability to customise on the mass scale can […]

Considering the ever-current discourse about the digital medium in the architectural field and beyond, there is still an apparent need to orient ourselves in an age of digital technology. How do we relate to the digital condition that remediates our experiences, reframes interactions, and looms over us like a conceptual cloud? When digital technology and […]

Architecture is in an ambiguous relationship with customization and standardization. A work of architecture is most often tailored toward a specific program on a specific site for a specific user group. Yet the components of architecture, its building blocks, have increasingly been standardized since at least the industrial revolution, with a radical increase in the […]
