| summary |
The CorkCrete arch is a 1:1 scale construction aiming at testing the use of robotic fabrication technologies in the production of a novel building system made out of two different materials – cork and concrete (GRC). The combination of these materials is promising since it merges the sustainable and performative properties of first with the structural efficiency of the second one. The result is a materi- al system suited for customized prefabrication and easy on-site instal- lation. The current paper describes the design and fabrication process of the arch, which employed a single parametric design environment to bridge design and fabrication, and an innovative sequence of differ- ent robotic processes. The success of this experience invites the team to continue this research into the future construction of larger scale applications. |
