Robotics for Architecture
With a significant focus on emergent technology within architecture, a focus on robotics in architecture was a natural progression.
As an integral part of advanced design research, I was involved in exploring significant areas within architecture that could benefit from parametric design software and robotics. Key areas considered were use of materials, file to factory, advanced prototyping in the design process and digital architecture.
Other aspects allowed for live updating with infinitely adjustable details allowing for the unlimited object variations including different materials to pick and place across the KUKA cell. The final code allowed for plug-in algorithms to alter the final result and may allow for different inputs such as graphic, text or even live feeds from sources such as cameras or environmental data such as light, temperature, wind and movement.
