A Comparative Study on Material-based Computational Design

In recent years, the role of materials in design processes has changed drastically with the idea of new structuralism. Many physical experimentations on material-based computational design are studied in architecture, yet their applicability to real life projects at larger scales still remain insufficient. It is therefore important and critical to investigate the relations behind the inability to efficiently achieve this transition. It is necessary to evaluate material-based computational design domains from a holistic perspective in order to understand these relations. Around seventy projects are selected and analyzed based on their characteristics associated with material-based computational design.
