(FAB)BOTS presents a collection of ten projects that explore the continuity between digital design and fabrication through the invention, development and programming of customized fabrication machines. The research, which resulted in this series of robots, demonstrates that by disregarding the optimization normally required of industrial production, it is possible to come up with solutions that can be adapted to different contexts and which are supremely specific in terms of the use of materials.
FAB)BOTS. is a selection of projects by students from the Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture and the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), developed in two design studios tutored by Marta Malé-Alemany, in collaboration with Jeroen van Ameijde (London) and Victor Viña (Barcelona).
We are always interested in new ideas, collaborations and competition opportunities. The best way to get in touch is to email Brian: brian@designlabworkshop.com
