Digital fabrication as the tool to drive the "new housing” in Albania

The aim of this paper is to explore the current advancement in digitally fabricating open source housing and what these advancements mean for a country like Albania. Through the emergence of digital media and technologies, we have seen great change in the fields of architecture and design, greatly expanding what we thought to be formally spatially and materially impossible. These new tools and the ability to smoothly transition from drawing to making can be the foundation to changing forever the way we design and build. This paper aims to explore how these tools can be used to create a new self building and adaptable housing models.
