Creative Robotics in Architecture – Robotic Brick Stacking
Current software developments allow architects to work with both multi-performative design explo- rations, including simulations and analysis of ex. acoustic, thermal and structural properties, and ro- botic fabrication in the same visual programming environment. This means that architects can visu- ally explore the shape and form of a design object and in the same software environment simulate the movements needed for a robotic arm to fabricate the designed object; thereby ensuring that fabrication of the object is feasible. In our current research project, we seek to construct and explore a multi-performative computational framework that integrates parametric design, acoustic simulation, and robotic fabrication of brick assemblies. The projects’ contribution to the field of architecture will be the development of a com- putational design framework capable of generating intelligent/informed brick assemblies; thereby facilitating a higher level of acoustic, fabrication, and material specificity within the design and con- struction of architectural structures. The research project was explored through the fabrication of a 1:1 demonstrator – a 3.2-meter-long brick wall made of limestone bricks – build and showcased during the Istanbul Design Biennale 2018.
