EMBODIED INTELLIGENT FABRICATION: REFLECTIONS ON THE CONTINUITY AND INNOVATION OF ARCHITECTURAL CULTURE WITH THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE "CYBORG CRAFTSMANSHIP"
The intervention of digital tools is reshaping the traditional culture of architecture. Advances in intel-ligent design algorithms and digital fabrication tools herald the era of embodied intelligent fabrication. At present, the subject of intelligent fabrication is in the transition stage from human to machine. In this stage, the "cyborg craftsmanship" augments the "body" with a human-machine collaboration paradigm in the fabrica-tion process, and shapes the subject of contemporary embodied intelligent fabrication. What is the mechanism of this symbiotic paradigm and how will it influence archi-tecture? Focusing on the concept of cyborg craftsman-ship, this paper explores embodied intelligent fabrication with human-machine collaboration and its impact on space, form and materials from the perspectives of per-ception, imagination and execution, through case studies of performance-based design and robotic fabrication.
