MASS-CUSTOMISED CITIES

What Happens When Computational Design And Fabrication Technologies Ramp Up To The Urban Scale? Though These Innovative Production Processes Are Currently Now Largely Limited To Small-scale Design Projects, What Will Happen When They Are Applied To The Vast Scale Of The 21st-century World City? Could New Technologies Enable An Important Shift Away From Mass Production To Increasingly Bespoke And Custom-designed Systems? The Introduction Of Standardisation And Mass Production Processes In The 20th Century Saw The Industrial City Take On A Repetitious And Homogeneous Quality Through The Duplication Of Component Parts. Today Non-standard, Bespoke Systems Hold Out The Promise Of Realising A Distinctive Urbanism
