In Search of a Dialogue for Manufacturing Conformance: When Precise Geometry is Paradoxically Imprecise Design Intent
From Design Computation
DC I/O 2021 Keynote Paper by CHRIS LEUNG.
Abstract
An article advocating in favour of introducing the Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) framework to pre-fabrication, pre-assembly and installation sections of the construction industry where designers, makers and inspectors can have clear and unambiguous terms of reference and rules of interpretation with which to discuss and negotiate in a dialogue between functional requirements and design specifications that can be modelled, manufactured and measured for conformance.
