DFAB
Structured Design for DFAB
The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication is Switzerland’s initiative to lead the development and integration of digital technologies within the field of architecture. To fully leverage the potential of digital fabrication, the following six disciplines intensively cooperate within the NCCR Digital Fabrication: architecture, structural design, materials science, computer science, control systems engineering, and robotics.
We created a design that communicates the connection of technologies in an independent way. The monogram is designed to be consistent with all future research approaches and results. The combination of the letters “dfab”, the abbreviation for digital fabrication, symbolizes the scalability of structures and the interdisciplinary nature of the research field. The new identity was introduced at the launch of the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication and also included the development of a new website.
