DS2: Proto / Vernacular 

Vernacular architecture is often associated with low-tech, specialised and labour intensive knowledge, transferred from generation to generation of self-builder via experiential, implicit methods (learning by doing). However, many modern methods of mass production and assembly have distanced the designer from the designed, divorcing building and place. With the rise of parametric design, digital fabrication and mixed-reality making are creating a revolution in the construction industry; putting the power of the digital directly into the hands of self-builders, makers and artists.  How can these resources be tapped, to create a new digital vernacular, a renaissance of craft, which captures the intelligence of the past and the possibilities of the future? Given these advances, what will we talk about when we talk about vernacular architecture in the future?
