Whether made digitally or by hand, remotely or locally, realisation of architecture is still reliant on the agency of dialogue from a practice that stems from oral exchange. Professor Michael Stacey , a global figure in the development of digital fabrication in architecture, and author of Component Design , draws from his broad experience in manufacturing, practice and research. This grounded text is a prompt for architectural practice to adopt digital fabrication technologies with clear reference and understanding of their origins and, thus, redefine itself as a form of live research.
