summary |
In the last decade, architectural researchers have demonstrated the potential of using robots to design and construct in novel ways.
However, the integration of such practices in architectural education has been difficult and the examples are rare. By analyzing this
context, this paper describes a teaching experience at FAUP where robotic technologies were introduced to the Master students
for the first time. The assignment consisted in the production of a brick structure and ended up with the construction of a 1:1 scale
installation. With this experience, this paper wants to contribute for the dissemination of robotic technologies in architectural
curriculums. |
