Origins of the digital
That digital tools have changed the very nature of designing and making buildings is unquestioned. Yet formal innovation and ingenuity—and the technical competence needed to achieve those ends—are not merely a function of the virtuosity of form-making. Rather, they also make evident the dramatic impact that digital capabilities have on the roles, responsibility, and(...)

AP169.S3
Description:
Series 3, Academic works, 1995 - 2011, relates to Bernard Cache’s work as a scholar and author. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 1999 to 2007. Cache pursued and academic career, teaching and lecturing at many universities while also publishing books and articles. His area of interest revolves around computational architecture, geometrics, history of geometric, stereotomy, engineering and philosophy. These records depict his investment in the study of the relation between ancient theory and the field of computational architecture drawings with CAD or BIM software. His work concentrates on prominent figures such as Greek mathematician Euclid to Roman architect Vitruvius and German painter and theorist Albrecht Dürer. Materials in this series reflect Bernard Cache’s work as a scholar. This includes notes for his articles and lectures as well as drafts for different lectures and texts. It also contains syllabi and planning materials for classes given by Cache on Non-Standard Design and Production in Architecture. The series holds a significant amount of images used for presentation or as examples during those lectures and classes (in JPEG and BMP formats). Those images are for the most part derived from CAD original drawings in TopSolid.

Synopsis:
The Zaha Hadid Architects Phaeno Science Centre project records, 1996-2015, consist of approximately 43,800 digital files that document the design and construction of an interactive science museum in Wolfsburg, Germany. Materials related to presentations, publications, events, and the press are also represented. Formats include chiefly CAD files, especially plotter files and AutoCAD drawings, though related text documents and images are also represented. The majority of the records date from 2000 to 2006.

Synopsis:
The ONL [Oosterhuis_Lénárd] NSA Muscle project records, 1995-2013, contain approximately 5,000 digital working files for the NSA Muscle, a built prototype commissioned for the Non-Standard Architecture exhibition at the Centre George Pompidou in Paris in 2003. The NSA Muscle is a programmable structure that changes its shape and content in real time. The records are entirely digital, and include administrative files, CAD files, Virtools files, publicity materials and photographs. They document the planning, design development, construction and exhibition of the NSA Muscle and related projects.
