Rapid Digital Prototyping and Algorithmic Design

Creating models or prototypes is not a novel concept in the building design world, but technological advances have taken this idea to new levels and created a surge of potential new opportunities. Influenced by other industries such as automotive and machinery design, architects now engage in the process of rapid prototyping their designs. By using a digital model as the basis for creating a physical model, either scaled or full-sized, these physical models can be made by using a variety of materials. 

Presented by Sarah Barrett, Assoc. AIA, product marketing manager at Vectorworks, webinar attendees will look at the link between digital and physical prototyping by exploring specific examples of architects who are using both to achieve their goals.
