Norman Foster Foundation - Robotic Atelier 2018
The Robotics Atelier gathered scholars and professionals to reflect on technological integration and digital fabrication in architecture. The atelier included both theoretical and practical aspects, under the mentorship of Fabio Gramazio, together with the Gramazio Kohler Research team at the ETH Zurich.
The robotics atelier workshop, Zero-waste Formwork, gave scholars the possibility to test the interaction between robots and granular matter processing. Scholars were divided into three groups and assigned a different tool and material to work with. During the workshop, they created highly informed architectural artefacts, reusable and re-configurable with high geometrical flexibility and no material waste.
