Spuybroek expressed his disagreement with both handcrafts and machine production. In his mind, the good design must have the characteristics of continuity and variation at the same time. Even though hand crafts can generate differences throughout the process, it lacks its inherent connections. On the other hand, even though the industrial machine productions are continuous, it lacks the variation. In Spuybroek’s mind, the digital computing is a great way to connect these two aspects together, ”the variation of handicraft would become part of the mechanical abstraction - which makes a good definition of digital computing .
Spuybroek has a strong belief in the cultural effects of new technologies. He claim that, soon it will be possible to have completely unique parts in a built structure for a price that before would only be possible through huge amounts of repetition - a variable prefab, or as it is called in production terms, mass customization. We are dissolving the opposition between elitist handwork and machined parts, between emotionality and high-tech, between Art Nouveau and Bauhaus. I have high expectations on this design methods, I am sure it will create a totally new and amazing world in the near future.
