The development of computational design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) tools and technologies in the 21st century have encouraged architects, engineers and all related stakeholders to integrate the new computational tools and high level automation technologies to solve the problems in design and construction. Today, cutting edge technologies and innovative materials enable architects to follow a new process -designing the design processto optimize the conventional way of "design and fabrication". Similarly computational design and manufacturing technologies force architects to think about new construction methods. Especially with the integration of 3d printing technologies and robotics in to the fabrication process - like robotic drones, bricklaying robots, welding robots, exoskeletons, forklift robots, humanoids etc.- traditional construction materials should have been reconsidered in terms of assemblage and related connection details. In this context, various design fabrication methods and automated construction techniques have been investigated and hybrid tectonics have emerged. Tectonics for concrete, steel, wood, stone and brickwork are not the ones we used to build in the recent past. In this regard, this paper discusses and exemplifies computational manufacturing techniques and hybrid tectonics with an emphasis on robotics used in architecture after setting the theoretical background. Selected case studies clearly shows that although their infant years in architecture, robotics can be used in construction sector widely in the near future.

An intelligent design approach trained by fabrication techniques Sönmez, Ayça; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-2-15) The developments in recent technologies through Industry 4.0 lead to the integration of digital design and manufacturing processes. While manufacturing is becoming an essential input of the design, it is usually considered at the last stages of the design process. This misconception creates a gap between digital design and fabrication, resulting in fabricated outcome being different from initial design in the context of architectural tectonics. This thesis aims to provide a basis to bridge digital design an...
Pioneers of the Next Generation Sustainability Strategies in the Built Environments: Robotics in Architecture Bostancı Sabur, Hafize Büşra (2019-12-01) The discussions on “sustainability in architecture” that shapes policies and practices by seeking less footprints in the ecosystem, and “computational technologies” that forces all design disciplines re- think each phase from initial design to end product as well as in the realm of architecture are two important subjects of this century. Environmental problems have become a reality that should be discussed at many levels and the solutions are being tried to be produced. Factors such as i...
Computational design learning: the smartgeometry case Acıcan, Öykü; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2019) Computational design has brought in novel concepts to architecture and design disciplines by an integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, tools and methods. Computational design learning has entered the curriculum of architecture, and gained significance over time. Experiential learning environments such as computational design workshops offer strategies for a better understanding of the contemporary needs of computational design learning. Smartgeometry (SG) is a computational design organization that ope...
In Touch with Consumers: FreeForm® as a Co-design Tool for Real-Time Concept Modification Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2005-01-01) This paper presents work from a collaborative project between Loughborough University and Procter and Gamble Technical Centres (UK), to establish how new product modelling technology (SensAble Technologies' FreeForm® touch-based virtual clay modelling system) can be strategically integrated as a co-design tool within new product development. The core of the work involved a step change in consumers' involvement in product design processes at Procter and Gamble: from reactionary to participatory. The use of ...
Learning by doing in the age of design computation Oezkar, Mine (2007-01-01) A design teaching approach of integrating the notions of design thinking and computing in the first year of architectural design education is introduced and discussed. The approach aims to enhance and bring up-to-date the educational practice of "learning by doing" in the first year foundations curriculum. In the studied example, the analytical phases of thinking in a simple design task are systematically and visually recorded. This documentation is incorporated to the design process as a means for the stud...
