Robotic Foam

This full scale mockup is a part of the larger research project address­ing mal­leable archi­tec­ture.  We charged our­selves with the task of pro­duc­ing a phys­i­cal show­case of the con­cept.  In the­ory, the robot would con­stantly carve the wall, re-producing an enve­lope required for each moment in time.  By uti­liz­ing a vari­able cone boolean oper­a­tion, the inher­ent sys­tem that con­structs the per­fo­ra­tions in the wall are topo­log­i­cally intel­li­gent enough to respond to scale and porosity.

More to come soon regard­ing the rel­e­vant research.
