Recent advancement in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is changing architecture in both practice and academic environment. Architectural design education in top schools in Europe and the United States has been rapidly transferring from 2D drawing to a 3D view. In our laboratory, the digital manufacturing research center, “Data 2 Form Laboratory” was launched, encompassing laser cutters and 3D printers as a pioneer of this field. Here it is designated to test different design processes that are different from conventional design approach. It is intended to conduct a research on the possibility of the cutting-edge design technology for architecture education.
