srpLAB | RETHINKING DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE & MAKING Spatial Robots: Interactive Architecture and Robotics PROJECTS | NSTRMNT / BRIAN HARMS | Description from Kruysman-Proto: Conventional 20th century assembly logic was questioned in favor of polymer-based meta-assemblies produced through squishing, sedimenting, embedding, and inlaying. The focus was to create mysterious and alien assemblies which do not resemble known tectonic systems. Projects avoid all types of hardware, expression of technology (although they may in fact contain it), the dogmas of frames and panels, and other 20th century forms of reductive subdivision. Underwriting this desire is the idea of multi-materiality, where the homogeneity of digital surfaces is replaced with complex depth, sectional, and compositional effects. Critical for the ongoing research project of SQUISHED!

Robots in Architecture We recently presented our paper "A New Parametric Design Tool for Robot Milling" at the ACADIA 2010 conference in New York. We had a great time there and thank all of our friends who got up on a Sunday morning - after the big party, no less - to follow our presentation. In our paper we show approaches on how to integrate the robot not just in the parametric model, but in the design process itself. The example above is a screenshot (with added captions) directly out of Grasshopper, showing the initially created curves, the resulting modules and finally the stacked wall - side by side with a preview of the toolpaths, including the possibility to simulate the end-effector movements and extract KRL (KUKA Robot Language) code.
