| Abstract: | Official architectural education in China remains very traditional and has yet to engage with the digital age. To counter this, Shanghai-based Fab-Union was set up in 2014 to establish a cross-disciplinary community – now over 10,000 strong – that is driving the emergence of digital crafts in the country. Here, its founder Philip Yuan and lead designer Hao Meng describe Fab-Union's online design platform, its offline collective design space, and its robotic factory that functions as an open research facility and fabrication workshop. |
