Joris Putteneers, a 22 years old architecture student.

“When we talk about 3D software as a medium of architectural communication, in my opinion, it is also useful to think about what specifically is meant with digital architecture and digital fabrication. Is architecture digital when its design process resonates within the computer? Is is tool dependent? Is architecture digital when computation is used to solve problems that traditional architects weren’t capable of solving? Is architecture digital when algorithms used in computation are also applicable in the fabrication process? I do not know the answer of these questions, but they are fun to think about. “

For example, in “Skizoid”, his most recent project, I managed to get around 60gig production data,
 including: 
• 2 180 000 vectors
• 12 million surfaces
• 3,8 billion voxels
• 200 million polygons
• 2860 .exr files for the associated short film
