Homing the Machine in Architecture is a captivating series of conversations that delve into the diverse ways designers, practitioners, historians, and theorists navigate the realm of architectural digital fabrication. To "home" a digital fabrication machine means to return it to its origin point, which can be predetermined by the fabricator in advance or by default settings pre-programmed into the machine. This essential process ensures precise positioning, enabling the machine and the maker to commence their creative endeavors with utmost accuracy. Whether architects are embarking on the digital fabrication of new designs or revisiting their craft, the homing process is pivotal and productive.
This book serves as a valuable repository of firsthand accounts, encompassing interviews, essays, and case studies, all centered around three fundamental questions:
What are the potential histories of digital fabrication in architecture?
How do designers orient themselves within this rapidly evolving discipline?
What conceptual foundations do architectural designers revisit when homing their machines?
The discourse that unfolds from this collection endeavors to engage practicing architects who employ digital fabrication techniques, as well as upper-level students and academics specializing in digital architecture, architectural theory, and architectural history. By exploring these critical aspects, the book aims to provide valuable insights and perspectives that will enrich the understanding and practice of architectural digital fabrication.
