FACIT is an Architecture, Design and Construction company that has developed a new digital method for fabricating
intricately designed buildings using computer controlled machines more commonly used in the manufacturing industry.
The ideas behind FACIT are simple ones: How can we design and make buildings better? How can we accuratley predict construction costs? How can we avoid abortive work? How can we make use of digital design information, like they do to make cars? Can we make the whole process of building quicker and easier for the customer?
The FACIT solution simple:
1) Design it all on computer (every last screw hole)
2) Cut all the parts of the building using a computer controlled cutter.
3) Assemble into lightweight blocks in the workshop that one or two
people at most can pick up un aided.
4) Assemble rapidly on site like big blocks of lego
