The Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction (MRAC) seeks to train a new generation of interdisciplinary professionals who are capable of facing our growing need for a more sustainable and optimised construction ecosystem. The Master is focused on the emerging design and market opportunities arising from novel robotic and advanced manufacturing systems.
Through a mixture of seminars, workshops, and studio projects, the master programme challenges the traditional processes in the Construction Sector. It investigates how advances in robotics and digital fabrication tools change the way we build and develop processes and design tools for such new production methods.
Course: MAEBB01 22/23 Resilient Envelopes
Resilient envelopes have to be developed, based on the harvested design strategies and the gathered concepts that the environment offers and have to be driven by specific sustainable constructive systems, integrating materiality with specific origin and composition, but also with an ample room for manoeuvre in terms of performativity, recyclability, bio-degradability, longevity... In this sense, the use of advanced wooden envelopes will be blended with the exploration of other sustainable materials, such as ceramics, rammed-earth, light mineral or recycled / re-used elements.
