ABSTRACT

 

The new phenomena resulting from the integration of architecture and mechatronics are discussed. In the society of knowledge, design, modeling, fabricating and assembling of architecture with robotics can be seen as part of creative design process. The use of robotics and automation affects the practice and world of architecture. Fabrication and assembly of structures and elements of building using robots is an important phenomenon, as illustrated by the cited examples. Kinetic architecture becomes a form of interface that responds to changing conditions context and to dynamic user requirements.

 

Key words: architecture, mechatronics, robotics, design, fabrication, assembly, automation of construction, kinetic architecture
