"Sand Deposition" is the title of one of the two seminar weeks organized this semester by our chair at Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich The seminar offered students hands-on experience with #UR10e industrial #robots, using sand as a medium. Students examined how changes in end effector design, I/O control, robotic speed, path, and orientation affect sand formations. Rather than creating a specific final shape, the focus was on analyzing and documenting the behaviors of shapeless material properties and their aggregation processes.

On the second day of #FoC24 we will concentrate on building materials and processes and deal with the definition of #Materials. In the third session of the talk series, we welcome three guests who work with natural materials. Tsz Yan Ng works on #3D-printed ceramic #Façades that enable climate change adaptation and resilience by collecting, retaining and controlling release of rainwater. She is a professor of architecture at the Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning, University of Michigan. Her talk at #FoC24 is entitled “Hygroscopic Building Envelopes for Climate Adaptation”. Viviana Pozzoli  is co-founder of the Paraguay-based firm Equipo de Architectura and  works with #NaturalMaterials like earth. Last year, her work was honoured with the Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture. Her lecture is entitled “Down to Earth”. Fabio Gramazio is Professor of Architecture and Digital Design at ETH Zürich where he co-leads Gramazio Kohler Research. Fabio's research ranges from #ComputerDesign and #Robot production to material innovations. At FoC24, he will talk about “Malleable Bricks”. Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich

Industry news from one of our spin-offs LAYERED with Giovanni Russo AG!

"Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design", part of the #Getty PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative, explores how nature inspires material experimentation in architecture, craft, and science. https://lnkd.in/g4rQ_9tg The exhibition features #RockPrint, a #GKR project that investigates and develops methods and techniques for the design and robotic aggregation of low-grade building material into load-bearing architectural structures that are re-usable and re-configurable with high geometrical flexibility and minimal material waste. https://lnkd.in/dTDuZTYn ✨The opening reception will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2024 6 PM to 9 PM at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles, California. 🧱 The exhibition is curated by Kate Yeh Chiu and Jia Yi Gu and is organized into five acts: #Animating, #Disassembling, #Feeding, #Refusing, and #Stitching - highlighting dynamic material transformations in response to climate and ecological crises. Supported by the #GettyFoundation, with additional funding from The National Endowment for the Arts, the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, and The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund.
