Robotic Construction for Highrise Building

A continual demand for high-rise space tied with the lacking availability of useable land resources led to the development of monofunctional and highly repetitive urban environments. The strict separation of functions together with construction technologies, driven by efficiency and economic factors, represent a quite outdated industrial standard. Hence the questions arise: how contemporary computer-aided architectural design could contribute to the differentiation of these environments, and how the investigation of robotic construction could support this outline in the context of large-scale buildings? Robotic fabrication has the potential for variety and differentiated assembly – if not just used for the execution of purely repetitive mass fabrication processes. Most attempts at using robotic processes in architecture remain exceptions or prototypes at larger scale buildings, as their approach is either to automate existing manual processes or to automate the complete construction process. The aim of this research is to continue an investigation into the potential impact of robotic processes on the design, built environment and construction of large-scale building structures, using existing methods, to study and improve the current research that has been provided by different research teams. The focus will be on developing a new computational design and unique strategy using the new type of materials and structural system, with breaking down the large-scale buildings into smaller modular elements, in order to ease the robotic fabrication and construction, to provide the possibility for future improvement or changes in large-scale buildings ,also create a new type of built environment and spaces.
