SEMINAR OVERVIEW ROBOTIC SIMULATION FABRICATION PROCESS DESIGN PROPOSAL CONTEXT DESIGN DRAWINGS WORKFLOW STRUCTURE Robotic Simulation – of Panel Cutting and Placing based on Design RENDERS
Within the current global context of rapid change, integrated with the potentials of digital technologies, IAAC’s Master in Advanced Architecture (MAA) is committed to the generation of new ideas and applications for Urban Design, Self Sufficiency, Digital Manufacturing Techniques and Advanced Interaction.
In this context IAAC works with a multidisciplinary approach, facing the challenges posed by our environment and the future development of cities, architecture and buildings, through a virtuous combination of technology, biology, computational design, digital and robotic fabrication, pushing innovation beyond the boundaries of a more traditional architectural approach.
Course: MAA01 23/24 Robotic Fabrication Seminar
The seminar aims to introduce participants to robotic manipulation processes for the fabrication and assembly of segmented shell structures while investigating whether cork panels can be used to fulfil all the functions of the building envelope, providing thermal and acoustic insulation as well as satisfactory structural performances in a complex domed structure, easy to assemble and disassemble.
