Philip is our model for the architect of the future- he works with the best digital fabrication (fabbing) tools in the world to develop a digital practice of architecture, where he designs and tests, then fabricates his building components. While there are lots of architects around who are more obviously "green", we have been preoccupied with the promise of digital design as a method of building lighter, more efficient structures with less waste. Kids don't usually think of architects getting to play with such toys, but if we are going to make buildings where we can really achieve modelled performance in the field, we are going to have to build them with this kind of accuracy and precision.
