Abstract
How can we, through the use of digital technologies, create qualitative and sustainable transformations of our architectural heritage? This project of reference spans across the fields of architectural heritage, digital design and fabrication, and circular economy. As both an interdisciplinary, research-oriented demonstration project and a built project, it has a built-in outreach through a number of external partners involved.
The paper describes the architectural investigations and solutions developed in the intersection between architectural heritage, digital registration processes and parametric construction and fabrication systems. The method presented, establishes a design workflow that relates detailed information of existing conditions with production constraints. A key aspect of this novel method is the emphasis on modular principles, which, together with the integration of digital technologies, allows the construction costs to be minimized. This makes restoration of historic buildings that holds high cultural and architectural value, but low economic value, a viable alternative to demolition.
The paper describes how we, using digital technology, can tailor materials into bespoke building components with a clear notion of materiality in architectural transformation projects. The paper addresses the reuse of architectural heritage through digital technologies and investigates a design pipeline for the manufacturing of bespoke building components with the capability to adapt to an existing building fabric.
