当形式与功能，结构与空间等论题还在被激烈地讨论时，一种整合诸多资源的解决方案已经悄悄地出现。数字建造作为一种新工业革命的符号，其已经渗透到从工业制造到日常生活的方方面面，所以建筑学也无法独善其身。从学科的角度来讲，数字建造是一个综合多种学科知识的系统性工程，是诸多技术在某种设计原则引导下的精准表达。 本文通过一些数字建造案例来剖析从设计到建造的生成过程及其研究方法。同时，一种潜在的结构与形式的理性脉络也在这个生成的过程中被严谨地发展并遵循着。

While the debates between form and function, structure and space are still intensively taken, an integrative and efficient solution is emerging silently. As a featured signature of contemporary industry, digital fabrication is gradually infiltrated into almost all  domain of our life. Obviously, architecture is hardly be unaffected in this milieu. Scientifically,  digital fabrication is not only a systematical discourse associated with many disciplines, but also an accurate expression of certain design philosophy. Several cases will be demonstrated in this article in order to present the methodology of digital projects starting from design concept to construction. Meanwhile, a latent principle between form and structure in terms of digital technology has been rigorously developed and followed as well.

A latent principle — digital methodology of form and construction based on structure performance
