Size matters - Digital Manufacturing in Architecture is the programmatic title of Fabian Scheurer's contribution to the issue No. 12 of 306090. The founder of designtoproduction explores the impact of digital fabrication methods on the way architecture is designed and built, and why mass-customization is a completey different thing in the building sector than it is in the car industry.

306090 has emerged as an essential forum for issues of architectural practice and theory. Each volume addresses a pressing issue and offers diverse, cross-disciplinary solutions in the form of projects, ideas, buildings, and other media. Dimension reconsiders the act of measurement and definition in architectural design practice. Architecture in the past two decades has been transformed by the ongoing revolution in digital design and fabrication techniques. Dimension explores how the data, design, and invention derived from the act of measurement can help architects respond to economic, political, and environmental factors.
