Through the case study, we surveyed the performance of a CNC-T BAR system on irregular-shaped building construction project. By CNC T-BAR system, we mean a surface curvature control system has been used in aircraft and ship manufacturing by controlling entire surface points on shape. For the past 10 year, the number of irregularly-shaped building design and construction project has been increased, and also the studies on irregular-shaped construction methods have been conducted. However, the previous studies did not review on the performance of the CNC T-BAR system. We collected construction-completed cases in Korea, which applied the CNC T-BAR system, and we studied its performance by comparing with a segment system in terms of construction duration and its quality. The result shows that the CNC T-BAR system can shorten the construction duration comparing with segment-assembly system while maintaining high quality. The CNC T-BAR system is expected to apply on the more number of irregularly-shape building construction project.

Through the case study, we surveyed an applicability of digital fabrication in irregular-shaped building construction project. By digital fabrication, we mean is a precision manufacturing method has been used in aircraft, ship and car manufacturing industry. We collected construction-completed "LotteWorld Tower Podium" project data and analyzed its process in terms of construction quality andduration. The result shows that digital fabrication is considered a competitive technology that enabled to complete the project in seven months within 3mm surface curvature threshold. The digitalfabrication is expected to apply on a number of irregular-shaped building construction project.
