summary	The use of digital fabrication in the production and making of architecture is becoming a prevalent vehicle for the design process. As a result, there is a growing demand for computer-aided design (CAD) skills, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) logic, parametric modeling and digital fabrication in student education. This paper will highlight three student projects that look to ingrate computational prototyping with digital fabrication techniques in the production of architecture. The goal is to hybridize fabrication techniques of sectioning, tessellating and folding to educate students in CAD, CAM, parametric modeling and digital fabrication. Rather than repeating conventional approaches or recreating from precedent, mixing techniques challenges students to understand the CAD technique or parameters for modeling, translate for CAM production and deal with real world constraints of materials, time and tectonics. In the end, these projects are critical of the digital and projectively speculate on the architectural detail in an age of digital ubiquity.

summary	Architects have been using computers for documentation but they are yet to engage them within a process designing that goes beyond basic representation. This paper explains a project that explores an alternate way computers could be unitized in architecture. More specifically, for the creation of mass customizable homes whose design quality can be controlled through the use of shape and grammar based rules that reliably produce controlled variation with its structure. The ultimate goal of the project was to develop a prototype within the parametric software grasshopper. The development of this project was based on the idea that homebuilders could engage this type of tool to deliver better products that could be custom tailored for their clients and architects could utilize within their design process.
