A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Fabrication Agency: Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall
Advances in computation challenge established design approaches in architecture through a much deeper integration of form generation and materialisation. Tobias Schwinn, Research Associate at the Institute for Computational Design (ICD), University of Stuttgart, and Guest‐Editor Achim Menges, Director of the ICD, introduce how the potentials and constraints of robotic fabrication can now be explored as generative drivers in agent‐based design. This enables architectural innovation in unison with fabricability, structural capacity and spatial performance, as demonstrated by the Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall in Schwäbisch Gmu"nd, Germany, the world's first building with a robotically fabricated segmented timber shell as its primary structure.
