Termite Constructor
Issue
The difference can be articulated in the top-down approach to design which is disconnected to a material’s function. Material assembly in architectural design is a result of design implemented by the architect, whom focuses on the pre-existing understanding of geometric forms and shapes, but rarely incorporates material behaviour to define ‘when’ and ‘how’ to build.
Proposal
The question as stated in the description, is explored through the fabrication and utilisation of digital tools to convey a digital design workflow that encompasses the environmental conditions and material properties, to define the ‘how’ and ‘when’ to construct, and incorporated it into the conceptual design phase of an architectural construction process
