The technology of digital fabrication is radically reconfiguring the relationship between conception and production of Architecture, creating a direct link between what can be conceived and what can be constructed.
Digital generative processes are opening up new territories for conceptual, formal and tectonic formal exploration, articulating an architectural topology and morphology focused on emergent and adaptive properties. They have opened up new opportunities allowing production and construction of very complex forms that were until recently very difficult and expensive to design and produce using traditional construction technology.
The new digital approaches to architectural design are based on computational concepts such as topological space (topological architectures), isomorphic surfaces (isomorphic architectures), motion kinematics and dynamics (animate architectures), keyshape animation (metamorphic architectures), parametric design (parametric architectures), genetic algorithms (evolutionary architectures). “Blobs” or “metaballs”, as isomorphic polysurfaces are sometimes called, are amorphous objects. They are composite assemblages of parametric objects mutually inflecting with internal forces of mass and attraction. Evolutionary architectures propose the evolutionary model of nature as generating process for architectural form.
This new fluidity of connection is manifested through the “folding”, a design strategy that starts from Euclidean geometry of discrete volumes represented in Cartesian space, employs topological and “rubbersheet” geometry of continuous curves and surfaces mathematically described by NURBS. 
The capacity of Digital instruments to generate new Architectures is therefore highly dependent on designer’s perceptual and cognitive abilities. Its individual capability has always been the very essence of Architecture. Digital instruments can change and, eventually, reduce the responsibility and role of the designer in generating architectural form.
We will explore these digitally-driven developments in architectural design that are being a new paradigm of design in the Digital Age. Trough the more recently contemporary architectures we could study the changes of the process design from the shape generation to the fabrication and construction.
