A Historical Perspective to Fabrication in Architecture for Preserving Heritage

Özkar, Mine; Hamzaoğlu, Begüm; Özgan, Sibel Yasemin

:

Digital technologies have recently been at the forefront of the causal link betweenmaking and design. A growing number of architecture programs of universitiesincorporates fabrication to the educational environment, and even to thecurriculum. Fabrication technology is now considered among the set of toolsstudents are expected to acquire a basic knowledge of and skills in. Nevertheless,the pedagogical potential of fabrication in communicating traditions of making isunderused in an oversight of the continuity of the relevant know-how. Ourposition is that traditions of making can be the subject matter of fabrication withthe objective to remedy the role of fabrication tools in architectural history,sustainable architectural production, and in the field of digital heritage. In thispaper, we report on two comparative studies that illustrate how the instrumentalfactors of two historical crafts can be articulated using fabrication.
