Overview
How does the use of robots affect architecture?
The use of robots in architecture is already commonplace: Robots
automate processes that were previously done manually; complex shapes
are created with the help of 3D printing; and autonomous swarm robots
construct complex buildings. The potential of using robotics in
architecture, structural design, and structural engineering is far from
being fully exploited. A number of important questions need to be
answered: How does the use of robots influence the resulting structures;
how does it affect the way in which architects who work with robots
think and plan?
"Robotic Building" answers these questions and more, drawing on a variety of practical examples. A final chapter explores the idea of architect as robot, the fully-automated home and similar concepts in which the robot merges with its environment and becomes part of our experience.
