Blobitecture arose in the course of the nineteen nineties when CAD methods
have been first being designed for architects and interior designers. Soon a range
of architects and furniture designers began to experiment with this "blobby"
software to create new and unusual forms. Despite its seeming organicism, blob
architecture is unthinkable without this and other similar computer-aided
design programs. Architects derive the forms by manipulating the algorithms of
the computer-modeling platform. Some other computer aided design functions
involved in developing this are the nonuniform rational B-spline or NURB,
freeform surfaces, and the digitizing of sculpted forms by means akin to
computed tomography
