Description
Parametric design and digital fabrication are transforming the way products are designed and manufactured. This has led to a 'democratization' of design, enabling non-designers to create highly customized products. Mass Customization and Design Democratization explores this phenomenon, examining its potential and impact on architecture and the building industry. The book introduces essential technologies and design approaches, providing numerous examples of cutting-edge work from leading firms and thinkers. It investigates what mass customization means for suburban housing and poses fundamental questions about authorship of design and product quality. With over 200 color illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for professionals and students in digital architecture, parametric design, and mass customization. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities and limitations of mass customization, making it an important read for anyone interested in the subject.
