Introduction:

From preservation to sustainability. Going forward, Design will benefit significantly from the hybridities that emerge from the misalignments of materiality, design methodologies, and fabrication techniques. This workshop will cover crucial design concepts that directly deal with building materials and construction, focusing specifically on the evolution and Design of architectural components such as columns, facade panels, and roof systems. We will find answers that influence design decision-making within the behavior of natural materials, the plasticity of synthetic material, the intricacies of components entanglement, and the resolution of the robotic fabrication process.

The Scope of the Workshop:

This workshop will focus on designing architectural components such as facade panels, columns, and structural components. Participants must have advanced knowledge of Rhino and basic knowledge of Grasshopper. The workshop will introduce the KUKA PRC Grasshopper plugin to simulate and operate the KUKA robotic arms directly. This workshop will cover three primary topics within digital design and robotics fabrication:

  • Natural Material Hybrids: We will discuss the ecology and behavior of natural materials, their structural properties, and their influence on robotics and digital fabrication.
  • Multi-materiality: We will discuss the transitional phase that requires us to hybridize naturally with synthetic materials in a component-based architecture and its aesthetic implications on design and functionality.
  • 3D Resolution through Fabrication: We will explore the role of tool pathing as a design methodology, enhancing the autonomy of digital fabrication tools, particularly robotics.

EcoFusion: Robotic Manufacturing - Studio Fadhil Fadhil

Fadhil Fadhil is a computational designer specializing in digital fabrication and robotics. He is the robotics fabrication lab manager and an adjunct professor at the New York Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Design. He taught robotics and fabrication seminars at the MS. Architectural Computational Technologies master program and computational design and visualization courses at the undergraduate program. Additionally, he independently works and collaborates with designers and artists to design and fabricate several projects, including installations, furniture, and architectural components.

Fadhil holds a master’s degree from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Texas Tech University. Before his academic career, Fadhil worked as an architectural designer at Foster and Partners in New York City, where he played a significant role in designing and managing several projects ranging from cities, skyscrapers, and permanent structures to furniture. Fadhil’s work has been published in conferences such as DC I/O and REAACH and exhibited at events, including the Biennale, Milan Design Week, and Marmomac.
