Digital Scribing: Applications of Accessible Hyper-Imaging in Architectural Design

Abstract

This thesis explores the application of scanning technology to architectural scribing techniques using digital, analogue and hybrid workflows. The project investigates ishibadate a traditional Japanese footing technique as a case study for precise scribing of manufactured material to a natural surface. The thesis then looks for avenues where digital workflows could be useful in the manufacture of precisely scribed material in an architectural context.
