Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the expanding territory of the architectural drawing through digital fabrication processes and with this angle suggest an experimental practice in research and education.
At two workshops held throughout June 2014 this approach and mind-set was presented to 2nd year students at Aarhus School of Architecture and through series of investigations the aim was to concretise and elaborate the diagrammatic premises described. The students worked with a range of fabrication tools that divide (water jet cutting), add (3D printing) and subtract (5 axis CNC routing) with a focus on the correlation between tool and drawing. The output of the workshop is considered one accumulated body of drawings and artefacts, mapping some aspect of the method put forward in a tangible materialised approach.
