Computational drafting allows architects to zoom in and out of their creations‐in‐progress as never before. However, when it comes to digital fabrication processes, changes in scale can have insurmountable implications in terms of structural stability and load bearing – as Guest‐Editor Neil Leach explains here. Therefore, he argues, rather than dreaming of scaling up 3D printing to the dimension of buildings and cities, architects do better to focus their enthusiasm for this new technology on smaller‐scale areas of their practice.
