Project description

Capitalizing on the Bauhaus' legacy and celebrating a century of influence, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, and the University of Duisburg-Essen propose the world’s first cable-robotic installation using cementitious material for 3D-printing directly on site. Introducing a novel, sustainable, and economical, additive manufacturing method, the project pre-sents a radically new approach to computational design and (large-scale) robotic fabrication, and fundamentally challenges conventional approaches towards concrete construction. Here, a specifically designed algorithm will guide the cable-driven robot to extrude cementitious material in space, allowing to automatically aggregate the material in distinctive shapes without any additional formwork, and free from the touch of human hands. Ultimately, the installation comprises a modular panel system, exhibiting distinct features, such as: efficient use of material, while yielding high geometric flexibility and articulation.
