Parametric design strategies: Robotic building in academic architectural research and education

Abstract

Parametric design strategies employing design-to-robotic-production (D2RP) approaches are relative new in architecture. They require trans-disciplinary research that at Hyperbody, TUD is experimentally tested in academic education and research. This paper presents and discusses trans-disciplinary approaches employing strategies that cross several disciplinary boundaries such as architectural design, structural engineering, material sciences, and robotics in order to create a holistic approach.
