Do you aim at deepening your theoretical understanding of digital design? Would you like to examine examples of design works? Or do you have a technical dilemma and you need the support of other users?

The Guide for Digital Design helps you with these things. 

Digital Design

Modern architecture, design, and engineering are sharing the digital domain. Whether it is text, images, or CAD (computer-aided design) data, information is created, shared, edited & stored in digital form from research and project planning to design & manufacturing, and even lifecycle management. Therefore, when we discuss digital design it is important to remember its two dimensions.

 

Digital design is:

- use of digital tools

- a multidisciplinary process
