''We live in an era were the basic manufacturing conditions of architecture start to shift from manual work to digital fabrication. By using industrial robots combined with computational and algorithmic design systems, new ways of design thinking in architecture can lead to more informed buildings with a higher material efficiency, optimized structures, re-used materials, a minimal energy manufacturing process and in general turn mass production into mass customization, effectively replacing costly existing manufacturing processes of identical elements. The leading research groups and institutes all over the world are tackling several topics regarding robotic production, one challenge at a time, in which we can distinguish between additive, subtractive, formative and to a lesser extend immaterial robotic fabrication processes.''

''The upcoming Rotterdam World Exposition 2025 offers a unique opportunity to create a platform of collaboration and sharing between the world's leading researchers regarding this topic and for the visitors of the World Expo to learn more about the state-of-the-art of robotics in architecture. Within a theme of collaboration, several specialists within the field of architectural design to robotic fabrication will be brought together under one international pavilion to generate and share ideas, research results and technological developments for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication in architecture. The ultimate goal being to create a design and fabrication process combining additive, subtractive (, immaterial) and formative techniques, culminating in the development of composite or hybrid processes, assuming that the combined effort of each participator is greater than the sum of their individual parts.''

The Roboticist Consortium

This project attempts to offer the upcoming World Exposition 2025, to be hosted in Rotterdam, a 7000m2 pavilion that functions as a consortium for roboticists who will be exploring what the fourth industrial revolution could mean for the profession of architecture. This includes, but is not limited to, human/robotic collaboration, hybrid robotic fabrication processes, agent awareness to boundary conditions, real-time multi-agent repositioning in three dimensions, collision avoidance and heterogeneous material distribution. On the other hand, the visitors of the World Expo will experience first hand how these roboticists do their research and conduct their state-of-the-art experiments, interacting to a certain extend with several robotic installations and simulations within the pavilion. For these reasons the project will not only include functions connected to various robotic workstations, laboratories, installations and workshops but will also include facilities specifically for the visitors and the interfaces between roboticist and visitor people flows. Eventually, after the World Expo is finished, the pavilion should remain functional as a research and learning center where industry and academy interact with and benefit from each other.
