Manufacturing Diversity.
- Authors
Menges, Achim
- Abstract
The article looks at the advanced processes of timber, steel and membrane manufacturing and construction, particularly at the pioneering work of top manufacturing firms Finnforest Merk, Covertex, Seele, Octatube Space Structures and Skyspan. The apparently contradictory goal of differentiation and economy of designers and manufacturers is being resolved through computer-aided manufacturing and mass customization.
