Dirk Krolikowski : Wendepunkt im Bauen - Richard Rogers and Dirk Krolikowski

Wendepunkt im Bauen - Richard Rogers and Dirk Krolikowski

The Title 'Wendepunkt(e) im Bauen' highlights two major paradigm shifts in architecture. The first is the development from craft to industrialisation and serial production, the second is the change caused by digital design and computer aided production. I would like to think of it as a development towards a digital craft.

from craft to industrialisation to craft

"...This is where the architect acts as a synthesizer and enabler, in general terms, coordinating how a building comes together with less effort spend on documentation and more on exploration of the actual design. I like to imagine that these technologies and their use by the architect one day can be called a 'digital craft' where the alienation of man and machine has been finally overcome and has been replaced by a more fluent understanding of the machine and its products."
