I would also nuance that "fabrication-informed" does not necessarily mean that fabrication is the main driver in the design of an object, but rather that fabrication is part of the design considerations. - Peaceful Panda 2023.04.18

good definition but I would nuance that fabrication is not exactly the same as construction, which includes assembly - Faith Eagle 2023.04.14
