Just finished the first day of the MMFX Fab Symposium in Indianapolis.
The conversations regarding fabrication are starting to shift into a more critical tone, beyond mere technique.
This is a very healthy development, especially when Marc Goulthorpe (dEcoi) expresses doubts about the current limits of the “Decorative” Impulse to sustain FAB. Jeanne Gang’s work (studio Gang) is very refeshing, as it utilizes analog material practice investigations, in combination with parametric techniques. The KUKA robot made an appearance, in the work of ETH professors Gramazio & Kohler. Personal FAB + Robotic Construction will soon be coming to a Home Depot near you!
