summary |
This publication introduces hybrid making as the subject of a workshop conducted at the ACADIA Conference 2023 (See Fig. 1). We contextualize hybrid making in today’s design digitalization marked by the opening of Artificial Intelligence (AI), wherein AI is seen as an accelerant in the ongoing digital evolution. In design-related practice and research, digital design is increasingly dominant (See Fig. 2); as shown in a quick survey of ACADIA 2022 wherein 10 out of 14 workshops focused on topics related to digitalization. Given this context, the subject of our workshop, hybrid making, highlights that which is excluded in purely digital processes, namely a richness of designing associated with the qualities of materials and fabrication (See Fig. 3). Hybrid making seeks to influence digital evolution with aspects of analogue processes such as the integration of constraints related to actual physical materials and their context. The task of hybrid making, therefore, is to introduce actual constraints into digital ones (See Fig. 4). |
