Robotic Building: Architecture in the Age of Automation (Detail Special)

Was bewirken Roboter für die Architektur? 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 while autonomous swarms of robots construct complex buildings. How does the use of robots affect the resulting structures; how does it affect the thinking of architects who work with robots? __Robotic Building__ answers these questions with several 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. • Overview of the international state of research into the use of robots in architecture and drawing on the expertise of international research teams from London, Zurich, Cambridge, MA, Los Angeles, etc. • several practical examples with a focus on architecture rather than algorithms 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. But How Does The Use Of Robots Influence The Resulting Structures; How Does It Affect The Thinking Of Architects Who Work With Robots? 0robotic Building Answers These Questions And More, Drawing On A Variety Of Practical Examples.

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.

Wie wirkt sich der Einsatz von Robotern auf die so entstehenden Bauten eigentlich aus, wie beeinflusst er das Denken der Architekten, die mit Robotern arbeiten? Robotic Building geht diesen Fragen anhand von vielen praktischen Beispielen nach. Ein abschließendes Kapitel befasst sich mit der Idee von Architektur als Roboter, dem voll-automatisiertem Haus und ähnlichen Konzepten, in denen der Roboter mit der Umwelt verschmilzt und Teil unseres Erlebens wird.
