See Ocean North and all Performance-oriented Design and Morpho-Ecologies design. Parametric building are going to be more an more common around. If the process is understood well, it can provide a nice alternative to eco-friendly sustainable architecture. Foster and Zaha Hadid have started already to use them. And no "the blob" is over since 8 years...now it's a new generation of people that are building in the real world and not any more doing fancy images for websites.

Unfortunately I can't afford the time to document the process, but envy anyone who can. I love work like this and and [C]space. Digital fabrication is just one step in making a screen shot reality. It is the open mindedness of your fabricator and tradesmen who want to share in this realisation that make projects like this so rewarding. Lets see more! to see the complete project plus process and drawings

Otherwise, how and artist documents a project is completely up to them. I do not think drawings are necessary in this case for you to fully understand the object. And heath: there really aren't shop drawings for some of these digitally fabricated projects. The interesting part in my opinion that gets neglected to be documented is the construction of these objects. Whether that's a screen shot of the 3D model, the cutting, or the assembly; I would love to see some of those with the final shots. Now if we could only convince more people to give up their initial sketches... I enjoy seeing these projects and only hope that people see them on here and other design websites for inspiration or ways to refine them. Nice work! One:

But creating scaleless , amorphous, undifferentiated blobs with it is depressing. Its all about the media image, branding and frivolity. Fie! As a design exercise it’s harmless enough.
