From the dawn of human civilization, we have continuously strived to push the boundaries of architecture and construction. With the advent of cutting-edge technology, a new era has emerged, bringing forth the symbiotic relationship between robotics and the AEC industry.

Robots and Wood: A match made in manufacturing heaven

Industrial robots are changing how we make everything. These tools are progressively changing how buildings are made by bridging the gap between the concept of a design and the way design is completed.

People’s Tower Showcased by NUDES as an Observatory Tower

Strikingly exposed as an array of potted plants draped about a tower sparks innovative awe.

Every pot would be carefully sown and nurtured by members of the community and other stakeholders before being positioned in place and build for the people, by the people.

Iridescence Print by Gramazio Kohler Research

Iridescence Print is the first large-scale architectural installation by Gramazio Kohler Research automatically 3d printed using robotic machines in 2015. GKR (Gramazio Kohler Research) is a research group founded by Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler. GKR examines the changes in architectural production requirements that result from introducing digital manufacturing techniques. They combine data and material and the resulting implications it has on the architectural design.
