Robotic Design to Production:

The Robotic Design to Production STUDIO/WORKSHOPs explore and develop novel possibilities of implementation and integration of Robotics in Architectural Design and Building Industry. Therefore a series of purposeful, Performative and informed Design to Production Processes will be designed and tested to eventually realize a one-to-one building prototype. This prototype will be a part of the design project in the studio, which is a student housing cluster. In workshops we are aiming at providing the required/unique practical knowledge to inform the design process. Simultaneously applicable and relevant Computational Design Techniques will be implemented to materially inform the design exploration processes.

Why:

_The robotic industry is growing fast, and building industry is one of the main realms for this growth.

_Robots are programmable/Flexible machines, therefore by integrating computational/parametric design processes with robotic productions systems we can bridge the gap between digital design interfaces with physical worlds of materials and fabrication.

_By developing new methods of fabrication, and revitalization/robotization of craftsmanship, architects can play more active roles in future of construction industry.

What:

How:

When:

The Spring semester Robotic D2P studio, Start at the end of Feb until end of July 2015. There would be two parallel working stream in the beginning for both workshops and studio, which are, designing of the student housing project and D2P experiments / Prototyping processes. In the mid of the semester we will merge these two streams and converge our efforts to develop and realize the final design and one-to-one prototype.

Where:

@ Protospace (Design Studio)

All three groups should be present during the workshop and studio hours in protospace. Mid March we move to a new space due to the construction plan of the faculty.

@ HRL (Hyperbody Robotic Lab)

Until mid March we would work with our ABB Robot in the Hyperbody Robotic Lab next to the protospace. Simultaneously we will start with setting the new KUKA Robot in another space in the faculty and move the ABB next to it. Please be aware of this fact that when you're working in Lab you have to consider all safety regulations!. And if you are unsure about any procedure don't hesitate to ask from Lab members.

@ V2 Gallery (Exhibition/Demonstration)

Who:

The tutor team is as followed: Henriette Bier, Sina Mostafavi as Studio and workshop Coordinators / Tutors Ana Maria Anton, Serban Bodea,Matteo Baldassari as Guest Researcher/Tutors Marco Galli MSc4 Student, Pablo Baquero, Yunsong Han, Xlaoan Li who will help us as Visiting PhDs in workshops Midterm and final studio critics: will be announced soon!
