Alternate Definitions for fabrication-informed design

a design approach where the final outcome is primarily shaped by the actual physical process that will be used when constructing the designed object.

the volume enclosed by a structure is chosen such that each member can be comfortably reached by the fabricating agents.

Fabrication-informed design embed fabrication-related requirements in the design process, instead of post-processing a design that needs fabrication rationalization.

Thanks to fabrication-informed design, the glass panels that make this steel gridshell are all planar, making fabrication simpler and cheaper.
