Kernel Scripting Applied on Membranes
ESR: Stephanie Chaltiel
ESR NUMBER: ESR15
INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS: Cloud 9 + ROK-Office
INSTITUTE: IAAC
A series of recursive geometries are being carried out digitally and then applied on the membranes.
The idea is to seek perfromance criteria: Minimum of material for Maximum of resilience.

Concrete Technology Advancement
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
The research aspires to establish a greater role for simulation in concrete design and building technology, to make it an intrinsic and deeply integrated tool that mediates the design between technological stages. The impetus for...
Can a robot learn a craft?
ESR10- SIMULATING ROBOTIC FEEDBACK
AUTHOR: Giulio Brugnaro
“Craftmanship” is a complex word, loaded with meanings and rhetoric. It’s a word to start an argument with (Pye, 1968). However, looking at the richness and sophistication of crafts could result a useful exercise to start thinking...
Robotic Softness: Materially Sensitive Fabrication Strategies for Architectural Production
ESR10- SIMULATING ROBOTIC FEEDBACK
AUTHOR: Giulio Brugnaro
The research starts with questioning the current paradigm for architectural production established during the Renaissance, based completely on notation and geometric representation, where only what can be drawn and measured, can be...
