The field of Digital Crafting is interested in combined forms of digital and analogue processes and their role in creative design. Yet, the creative process is equally entailed in crafting the digital. This seminar presents unique methods and strategies in which digital tools are being developed and used to support creative design practices. The studies illuminate the role of analogue making in digital crafting iterative process by exposing the importance physical experience in the crafting of digital processes. Through interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary processes, material, code and machine are entangled to produce new research pathways.

Since colonial times a formal/informal divide entrenched in systems of urban planning in Phnom Penh, Cambodia has been used as a governmental tool by the state to marginalize and exclude informal settlements. This tool has also been used to impose market-led tenure reforms and a land formalisation program that perpetuate an individual/collective divide by promoting individual property rights. This paper uncovers these interrelated dichotomies and explains how these are used as governmental tools by actors within and through the state to their advantage and the social and spatial inequalities these generate in the city.

Please join us for an afternoon in conversation with Professor Philip Cox AO, founder of COX Architecture.
