Abstract
The process of making innovative buildings is stifled by our current methodology of communicating design information. Advances in new techniques, technologies, methods, materials and knowledge for both designers and constructors have failed to successfully be implemented into the building industry because of our reliance on traditional methods of transmission and exchange. The purpose of this thesis is to survey our current methods and propose an alternative process of communicating complex design information through a hypothetical design problem and subsequent physical fabrication. The objective of the research is to develop a process for designing, communicating and making of innovative parts / assemblies that will allow designers and fabricators to efficiently increase the quality of the products they produce.
