Rapid prototyping for architectural models
TLDR
Work carried out by the authors to investigate potential applications for architectural modelling, as well as an attempt to explore the limits of the technology are described.Abstract:
Rapid prototyping (RP) technology has developed as a result of the requirements of manufacturing industry. There are a number of other application areas where RP has been used to good effect and one of these is architectural modelling. However, such application areas often have different requirements from what is offered by the current technology. This paper describes work carried out by the authors to investigate potential applications for architectural modelling, as well as an attempt to explore the limits of the technology. It will go on to discuss how the technology may be developed to better serve the requirements of architects.read more

A critical review of the use of 3-D printing in the construction industry
Peng Wu,Jun Wang,Xiangyu Wang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review shows that 3-D printing technology, after years of evolution, can be used to print large-scale architectural models and buildings, however, the potential of the technology is limited by the lack of large scale implementation, the development of building information modeling, the requirements of mass customization, and the life cycle cost of the printed projects.

Why Architects Draw
TL;DR: The authors examines the social uses of architectural drawing: how drawing acts to direct both the conception and the production of architecture; how it helps architects set an agenda, define what is important about a design, and communicate with colleagues and clients; and how it embodies claims about the architect's role, status, and authority.
