Morphospaces of Robotic Fabrication
From theoretical morphology to design computation and digital fabrication in architecture
Abstract The research presented in this paper investigates the possible transfer of the concept of morphospaces from theoretical morphology in biology to the realm of robotic fabrication and design computation in architecture. This investigation is concerned with the search for suitable methods of differentiating between the geometrically possible and robotically fabricable in integrative computational design processes, a critical component for further developing a morphogenetic approach to design. In the first, second and third part of the paper, the relevant aspects of morphogenetic design in architecture, theoretical morphology in biology and the related distinction between empirical and theoretical morphospaces are introduced. In the fourth and fifth part, the transfer of the concept of theoretical morphospaces from biology to design computation and robotic fabrication is introduced and explained along with the research on constructing machinic morphospaces for robotic production for robotically fabricated plate structures with finger joint connections.
