[FAB]ricating Housing

Abstract

This article is part of my master’s thesis research entitled “Towards a new architectural pedagogy. Incorporation and application of new technologies in the Schools of Architecture. Current situation in Lima and general perspectives.” The purpose is to make people reflect on the digital fabrication of housings and the possibilities that may arise therefrom, with examples from different countries because, all of a sudden, everything can be perceived immediate, close, momentary,
ephemeral, and almost imperceptible. At present, architecture does not remain unconnected to digital design, neither in Lima. Even when the digital aspect is not formally shown in our built means (I refer to the generation of complex forms), it is so as a part of the project process. How far are we from the next step?
