Robot House

The next generation of architectural design is moving outside the box. Robotic arms are beginning to replace and advance now common digital fabrication technologies. Six-axis robots are showing the way to non-linear workflows, interactive interfaces, tools, and material technologies that can radically alter the established process of how we design and build space, offering a new paradigm for architecture. This book has three central sections: `Techniques'''', which sets out the fields and the thinking that underlie the new uses for robotics; ''''Projects'''', offering detailed presentations that explore through prototypes and working models how these principles can be applied and augmented; and ''''Platforms'''', which presents the working tools used for this new genre of improvisational robotics through specially drawn technical illustrations.
