The evolution of digital design is defined and shortly analysed under the scope of the notion of design operators. The introduction of new technologies in the building industry and the interaction of computation with architectural design is further examined. The effects on the design process are traced, and the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the available fabrication technology are identified.The thesis hints for an emerging design and construction mentality delineated by the documentation and critical evaluation of a selection of both experimental and built projects. As an experimental output of this theoretical research, two experimental case studies are being implemented, one presented in the paper and the other is still in progress.
