Automated Building Construction System Bo Atkinson, Artgineer, makes a public disclosure of ideas for a slack-wire based robotic deposition system to form structures from concrete in a layer-wise fashion. Mr. Atkinson also describes automated means of reinforcing the structure. The approach is similar in some aspects to work currently being pursued at the University of California and elsewhere.
Computergestützter Architekturmodellbau This book by Bernd Streich and Wolfgang Weisgerber (in German), is said to be the first complete work which describes the subject of computer-aided modeling in architecture by using methods of solid freeform manufacturing, rapid prototyping and CNC machines. [Birkhäuser, Basel, Berlin, Boston 1996; ISBN: 3-7643-5363-5].
The Future of AEC Technology Article by Jerry Laiserin from CADENCE Magazine, January 1999. This is one of the most complete treatments available on all aspects of computation as applied to architecture.
Scale Models from Thin Air Article by B.J. Novitski from Architecture Week, Aug 2, 2000.
