Digital FUTURES: F5: Fashioning Fabricators for Flexible Forms
ICD Research Associates Maria Yablonina and Samuel Leder led a workshop on "F5: Fashioning Fabricators for Flexible Forms" at Tongji University, Shanghai as a part of Architectural Intelligence, the 2019 edition of the digitalFUTURE annual conference. Every year, more than two hundred students gather to engage with state-of-the-art digital fabrication and computational design tools.
The ICD workshop explored the recent trend of collective robotic construction through the implementation of bespoke mobile machines to create adaptable space.
Advances in computation design and fabrication have allowed collaborative, autonomous multirobot systems to integrate the design and construction phase of architecture into one process. The workshop aimed to address one step further in the architectural life cycle: the inhabitation phase. Mobile machines can build architectural space but can also completely change what already exists in order to influence the behaviors of humans.
Using this understanding, the participants were involved in the assembly, choreography, and installation stages of a bespoke multirobot system, generated to manipulate the shared environment with humans. The choreography of the machine movements as it relates to physical space and human interaction were at the core of the workshop.
The week-long workshop culminated in an exhibition, on July 6, 2019.
