Fabricating Architecture: Selected Readings in Digital Design and Manufacturing

But despite its omnipresence in contemporary practice and theory, digital design remains a fluid concept, its development and current influence discussed in scattered articles.
Fabricating Plasticity in Aluminum
by Heather RobergeThis book argues for the value of the material prototype as a critical site of design innovation, through a series of design and architectural case studies. Illustrated by physical objects such as chairs, columns, and building façades, these full-scale material investigations reflect their designers’ deep knowledge of material, manufacturing, and geometry. The projects do not simply express how they are made, rather their designers leverage the capacities of metal forming to exert distinctive influence on the object’s expression and performance, embracing manufacturing processes as instruments of material innovation.Organized in two parts, part one presents the material framework informing work by Arad, Newson, Heatherwick, Future Systems, Foster, OMA, Rex, Hadid and others. Seven metal forming techniques including Press Forming, Press Brake Forming, Spinning, Panel Beating, Casting, Extruding, and Superplastic Forming are presented alongside work implemented with these processes. Part two presents original design research. Thermoformed aluminum façade systems ask critical questions of The Part: Tessellation, The Mold: Tooling, The Seam, and the Finish: Post Processing, illustrating the potential of design inquiry when techniques of material production alter techniques of design. Aluminum is redefined, inheriting a plasticity which alters the intrinsic qualities of its raw production.For students and professionals in the fields of industrial design and architecture, this book presents an optimistic role for material in the design process.
Fabricating Transnational Capitalism: A Collaborative Ethnography of Italian-Chinese Global Fashion (The Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures)
by Lisa Rofel Sylvia J. YanagisakoIn this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J. Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how Italian fashion is manufactured, distributed, and marketed by Italian-Chinese ventures and how their relationships have been complicated by China's emergence as a market for luxury goods, the authors illuminate the often-overlooked processes that produce transnational capitalism—including privatization, negotiation of labor value, rearrangement of accumulation, reconfiguration of kinship, and outsourcing of inequality. In so doing, Fabricating Transnational Capitalism reveals the crucial role of the state and the shifting power relations between nations in shaping the ideas and practices of the Italian and Chinese partners.

The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera
by Bertram D. WolfeBertram D. Wolfe’s The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera offers an engrossing and intimate portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential and controversial artists. Renowned for his larger-than-life murals and his equally colorful personality, Diego Rivera’s life was as dynamic and revolutionary as his art.Wolfe explores Rivera’s artistic evolution, from his early years as a prodigious talent in Mexico to his formative studies in Europe, where he absorbed influences from the avant-garde movements of the time. The book chronicles his return to Mexico, where he became a leading figure in the Mexican Mural Movement, creating monumental works that celebrated the struggles and triumphs of the Mexican people. Rivera’s art, infused with bold imagery and political conviction, reflected his deep commitment to socialism and his vision of art as a tool for social change.Beyond his artistic achievements, Wolfe delves into Rivera’s tumultuous personal life, including his fiery relationship with fellow artist Frida Kahlo, his passionate political activism, and his interactions with prominent figures like Leon Trotsky and Pablo Picasso. Drawing on extensive research and personal acquaintance with Rivera, Wolfe paints a vivid picture of a man who was both a genius and a provocateur, leaving an indelible mark on the art world and beyond.Rich in detail and insight, The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera is both a biography and a celebration of a complex artist whose work and life continue to inspire and provoke. This book is a must-read for art lovers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the interplay of creativity and revolution.
