Behavioural Geometry We live in an era were the basic manufacturing conditions of architecture start to shift from manual work to digital fabrication. By using industrial robotic techniques 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 van distinguish between additive, subtractive, formative and to a lesser extend immaterial robotic fabrication processes.

The upcoming Rotterdam World Exposition 2025

Within a theme of collaboration, several specialists within the field of architectural design to robotic fabrication will be brought together under one pavilion to share ideas, research results and technological developments for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication in architecture. The ultimate goal being to design a design and fabrication process combining additive, subtractive and formative techniques, culminating in the development of composite or hybrid processes.
