Introduction Have architects ever been digital? Tis question made explicit by Mario Carpo[1] seems to have become a central motif in architectural theory, revealing a deeper interest from architects to align their design with innovative technologies. Indeed, the projected evolutions of the built environment and industrial contexts imply the design of new building strategies, tackling emerging problematics such as reversibility, circular economy, life cycles, and automation. Te most advanced answer to the digitalization of the built environment is presumably the notion of digital materials attributed to Neil Gershenfeld for his 2006 research at MIT. Tis last generation of digital materials is defned by fnite set of components, associated through discrete joints, which placement are made explicit exclusively through the assembly process. Tese digital materials are exploited to produce digital discrete architectures. Te concept of digital material is established on two key aspects framing its technological pertinence. First, the aggregation of discrete elements through discrete joints congregates a large range of properties such as structural reversibility, commutability, combinatory logics, and an overall systemic resilience. Second, digital materials ofer a strong formal and computational continuity from digital models to physical assembly, avoiding traditional gaps from design to fabrication.
