Manufacture methodology had extended from reduction of
timber and stone to accretion of concrete and steel. It is not only an
extension of traditional practice taking advantage of new technologies, but
also a challenge of reconsidering our representational paradigms including the
model. The new present of manufacturing will expand the realm of industry and
imagination.
Before manufacture becoming a handy task for architects,
design exploration, resolution, development and representation are very
straightforward and tied to people with specific specialty. Now the boundary
between design and practice becomes blurred, transforming the role of model,
prototype and archetype and the role of architects.
The definition of model is a representation, generally in miniature, to show the construction or
appearance of something. The prototype, in contrast, is the original or model on which something is
based or formed. New manufacture present the physical as the presentation
of an idea and a prototype. Simply, the model is a progressive prototype,
leading to the eventual presentation of an idea. The simplification of process
eases the responsibilities of the designer. We have a blurring of definition of
the model and the prototype, and with it, a lack of clarity into the role of
the archetype.
