Manufacturing Architecture is the first reference guide to customising repetitive manufacturing for architects. Clear diagrams, photographs, and narratives explain 20 of the most common manufacturing processes for typical building components. Case studies from around the globe show how these processes can be customised in order to create variation, lower costs, decrease production waste and use a wider selection of materials.

With over 1,000 images, this highly useful manual provides designers of all levels with all the information they need to make the most of the exciting opportunities offered by custom manufacturing.

Author Dana K. Gulling is an Associate Professor of Architecture and the Director of Graduate Programs at North Carolina State University. She is also a licensed architect. Her research focuses on the intersection of construction and manufacturing methods, building materials, building structure and design.
