Integrated with a diverse array of emerging technologies and methods from digital computation, the proposed project will be interdisciplinary architectural research, which explores the potentials of unconventional 3D forms being used in architectural design, and describes a practical way to use a low cost digital fabrication and virtual reality (VR) system for 3D design. The research refers to three main aspects: (1) How to integrate digital fabrication, not just a communication media, but also as a design instrument, within the design environment. (2) How to use virtual reality technology to set up an affordable, web-based virtual environment. (3) Based on the efficiency of communication, evaluate the characteristics of these two pipelines. Based on my own research, the result will be the first analytical research to bridge these two worlds—physical and virtual worlds in architectural design context.
