Axisymmetric Column No. 1

Axisymmetric Column No. 1 Description Axisymmetric Column No. 1 exemplifies a novel approach to large-scale robotic additive manufacturing, utilizing curved-layer fused filament fabrication (CLFFF) on a pre-stretched textile. It explores how patterning affects CLFFF...

Robotic Ecotectonics

Robotic Ecotectonics Description Climate change is challenging humanity. There is an increasing need to develop sustainable building systems for zero or negative carbon emissions. Innovation in ecologically sound materials and sustainable construction techniques could...

Additive Tectonics

Additive Tectonics “When a structural concept has found its implementation through construction, the visual result will affect us through certain expressive qualities which clearly have something to do with the play of forces and corresponding arrangement of parts in...

Design Computation 1

Design Computation 1 Description Computation has a profound impact on a contemporary understanding of architectural form, space, and structure. It shifts the way one perceives form, the way in which form is purposed, and the way in which form is produced. The course...

Robotic Additive Manufacturing

Introduction to Robotic Additive Manufacturing “The manifest form—that which appears—is the result of a computational interaction between internal rules and external (morphogenetic) pressures that, themselves, originate in other adjacent forms (ecology).” — Who is...
