Mashup and Assemblage in Digital Workflows: The Role of Integrated Software Platforms in the Production of Architecture

Digital technology is eliminating the separation between design and making that had existed since the Renaissance. But in order to seamlessly produce experience rather than just artefacts, architects have been turning to software developed for other fields. Adam Modesitt – assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and founding principal of New York-based Modesitt Design – discusses the new directions that this hybridisation of workflows is allowing architecture to take.
