DEADLINE > 30 APRIL 2022
Ten years after the introduction of the concept of Industry 4.0 at the Hannover fair in 2011, the enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are gradually being implemented in various industrial sectors. Among these, the AEC sector has also begun to accept the challenges dictated by the 4.0 paradigm, continuing that path of hybridisation with other disciplinary fields and industrial sectors (aerospace, naval, automotive) that characterised the first digital era. The 4.0 challenge leads industry operators to introduce a series of new paradigms that affect the entire supply chain, from first-level training courses to the creation of innovative companies, passing through the design and construction of digital and performative architectures.
The affirmation of computational design, the increasingly transversal and multidisciplinary flow of knowledge, the democratization of machines open up new possibilities in a historical moment where the combination of technological innovation and design can play an important role in terms of environmental sustainability and reduced consumption of resources. The development of CAD / CAM and robotics digital manufacturing technologies has helped to reduce the gap produced by the increase in computational power in the generation of the form compared to the materialization of the same.
Through this process, architecture regains its own tectonic identity and the architect of a material sensitivity previously dissolved in virtual space. The democratization of digital manufacturing tools and the growing ubiquity of computational design requires a new material dimension and a new figure capable of controlling the entire process. In the post-digital era, where the essence of design lies in the control and information of the process that holistically involves all the aspects mentioned above, rather than in formal research, it is necessary to understand technologies and analyze the advantages that it can bring in terms of environmental sustainability and product innovation.
This book intends to systematize from a theoretical and practical point of view, the best contributions and the best experiences in the professional and entrepreneurial, academic and research fields in relation to architecture and design based on this new design paradigm. The main purpose of the proposed systematization is to create a widespread awareness necessary to initiate technology transfer processes involving the public sector, universities and research centers, and the private sector consisting of innovative companies.
The issues addressed in the book are central to the development of a full 4.0 awareness for architects, designers and digital entrepreneurs: advanced and computational digital design, virtualization of the project and of production and construction processes, use of cyber-physical systems, advanced and customized prefabrication, additive manufacturing, automated manufacturing and construction, as well as the story of significant experiences of public and private self-entrepreneurship (spin-offs and start-ups).
