Manufacturing Paradigms as Aesthetics

Rationale & Context

When form hides constraint, design becomes generic. When form exposes constraint, it becomes legible and specific.

Constraints & Non-Goals

• —Constraint-led, not style-led.
• —Avoid faux-minimalism.

Feasibility Gradient

Pick one manufacturing method → define constraint vocabulary → generate design studies → validate with fabricators.

Next Actions

1. Choose 1 method (e.g., CNC, casting, 3D print).
2. Define 10 constraint primitives.
3. Create 20 form studies.
