Authoring Robotic Processes : Reading Response

"The employment of robotics in architecture is opening up the prospect of entirely new aesthetic and functional potentials that could fundamentally alter architectural design and the building culture at large."

Industrial robots can be freely designed and programmed and are not limited to a specialized task. With this we are able to test various modes of assembly along with a range of different materials. Having that versatility enables the designer to solve construction problem in various ways. Industrial robots are taking away the abstract digital designs in architecture and are forcing us to think in a new way of thinking about and materializing architecture. Learning from the abilities of the robot and the materials it can use will inform the new age and atheistic of architecture.
