@JillFehr I think that's the Pikeloop installation by Gramazio&Kohler, organized by @storefrontnyc http://bit.ly/4bPObz

I find that interesting too… We architects are always way behind engineers in terms of automation, and I think this kind of experiments can teach us much. And I think (hope) we are quite far from seeing robots building entire buildings around, mainly because what is most needed when building something is synthesis and broad vision, areas in which artificial systems are still very inefficient, compared to our little human brains…

That said, it’s interesting in terms of the process of building…
More of an architectural novelty at this point.

I have to agree with you on that one. The robot will most likely not be used to its potential and it will be used primarily as a cost-saving measure (just like in the automotive industry). As well, it dislocates the user from the process of building which is a real tradition in the sense of residential architecture, and could become a one-off thing as you said with the store bought plans. I could see this becoming the way social housing is built as well (shudder).

The precision with which this is able to construct is incredible, and certainly offers architects many opportunities for construction. However, a small alarm is sounding in the back of my head as I wonder if this is the beginning of the ability to buy a set of blueprints at Walmart, have the robot carted out to your truck, and build your house in a weekend. I hope this can be used for the scope of opporunity it may provide in creative applications rather than to remove the human element and craft from the design and construction process.
