Robotic Additive Manufacturing and computational tools enables precision and mass customization beyond the limitations of standard construction methods. The studio seeks to investigate and address the need for mass customization in design. Through the realization of a scaled demonstrator, it further, explores the efficient application of these tools and processes to achieve zero waste, sustainable design solutions.
In collaboration with industry experts, this studio explores the integration of digital processes to develop innovative design solutions for building envelope systems, interior architectural elements, and furniture. The design approach will respond to critical parameters such as scalability, flexibility, affordability, and ease of construction to develop these designs. Through iterative prototyping, students will engage with robotic fabrication techniques and material systems that align with the principles of a circular economy, emphasizing minimal material waste and lifecycle adaptability.
The studio is structured in six phases: 1. Collaborative Research 2. Concept and Design Development 3. File to Factory 4. Prototyping 5. Production 6. Assembly and Installation. Throughout these phases, students will develop modular, scalable, and adaptable solutions, applying robotic fabrication to address the complex demands of contemporary construction and design.
