Course: MAA01 25/26 Introduction to Robotic Fabrication Seminar

Exploring Possible Applications of Robotic Fabrication for Architecture

Introduction to Robotic Fabrication introduces students to robotic fabrication as a design-driven approach that integrates making, assembly, and architectural production within the digital manufacturing paradigm. The seminar, conducted in a workshop format, situates robotics within the broader transformation of the construction sector, highlighting how automation and computational fabrication can enhance productivity, sustainability, customization, and building performance. Through hands-on experimentation in an open fabrication environment, students develop robotic design protocols and produce a robotically fabricated prototype that translates manufacturing logic into architectural-scale applications.
