Digital Worlds and the Limits of Frictionless Space: Rethinking Scale and Materiality

Historically, the way we design has been closely linked to the way we build. Architecture moved through physical testing , trial and error, projection drawings, mock-ups, and physical models : each introducing a new layer of abstraction, but still remaining tied to material, scale, and construction . The introduction of CAD significantly changed this dynamic. At first, it was largely understood as
