Is a Fab Lab In Your Firm's Future?

摘要

For Seattle's LMN Architects, and many firms like it, in-house fabrication had humble beginnings: in principal Scott Crawford, assoc. AIA's garage, where he and two other team members set up a CNC machine and tested how such tools could benefit the firm's approach to design. A few years later, both team expertise and management buy-in grew, and the architecture firm now supports a full-fledged fabrication studio in the basement of its downtown office building, an operation that has become central to the firm's design process.
