Graded Structures 1, ETH Zurich, 2015
Elective Course (4ECTS)
During this semester, the students will explore the architectural potentials of robotic extrusion of spatial mesh structures. Typically, structures are assembled from discrete elements, such as, for example, concrete beams or timber members. With the bespoke robotic fabrication process at hand, however, we will foster the potential of the continuous extrusion of filaments to design and fabricate spatially graded structures. These are characterized by the gradual variation in composition and structure compared to their volume, corresponding to specific material and structural requirements. Through computational design, simulation and robotic fabrication we will investigate a range of different typologies and their potential in the aggregation of larger structures. As such, the students will learn how to generate and articulate geometrically complex designs through robotic programming, and their translation into physical prototypes.
