Gramazio & Kohler and
Raffaello D’Andrea have launched a pioneering project around training
dynamic and robotic procedures applied to architecture. Belonging to the
younger generation of architects exploiting the digital tools in the
architectural design and construction, Gramazio & Kohler join the
engineer Raffaello D’Andrea, whose work concerns the study of algorithms
and development of systems autonomous innovation. Together, they
created Flight Assembled Architecture, an architectural research on the
potential of a revolutionary assembly tool, revealing joint spatial and
material previously unpublished.
Flight Assembled Architecture is the first installation built
entirely by flying robots. Designed as an architectural structure on the
scale of a “vertical village” of 600 meters, Assembled Architecture
Flight tests a new paradigm of design and manufacturing, through a
physical process of automated dynamic training. This project builds on
the simultaneous use of multiple mobile agents. Considered as tools for
adaptive production, these flying robots are programmed to interact and
to capture, transport and assemble the modules to build architectural
structures. They synthesize and the pragmatism of Gramazio & Kohler
Architecture and visionary approach to Raffaello D’Andrea in
engineering dynamics. The FRAC Centre supports this new project, which
will ad up to its collection devoted to experimental architecture. This
collaborative project will be exposed in the FRAC Centre in Orléans.
