CASSATTA – Robotic Fabrication of Trencadis Art
Introduction Trencadis is a form of Mosaic art formed and developed by Architect Antonio Gaudi using discarded broken tiles. This was done by hand back then of course. Nowadays , with progress in the development of technology, robotics are nowadays used in accurately stacking bricks upon one another, 3D printing as well as placing pieces … Read more
Dancing Tiles
This project investigates the reinterpretation of the traditional mosaic technique of Trencadís through contemporary methods of digital and robotic fabrication. The process began with manual explorations aimed at understanding the material and compositional logic underlying Trencadís—specifically, the principles governing the arrangement and fitting of irregular fragments to generate cohesive surfaces. These initial studies provided critical … Read more
