Architectural design increasingly takes advantage of advanced digital design tools. Here, robotic systems present an ideal link to actual construction. Not only can their use lead to significant timesaving, but their ability to precisely transfer computational design data directly to real-world manufacturing operations enables the fully automated construction of non-standard building structures. In particular, their use opens up entirely new possibilities for future brickwork that is not limited by the same constraints – such as, for example, standardised assembly routines – as manual assembly processes. Since, the brickwork is robotically constructed, the flexibility of individual fabrication is combined with the advantages of additive mass production.
