article⁄Emergent Constructions: Experiments Towards Generative On-Site Design and Build Strategies Using Customised Digital Devices (2012)
abstract⁄This paper presents a currently ongoing research trajectory, investigating integrated design and build workflows using generative design strategies and custom built fabrication devices. The aim of the research, which is being developed through a series of experiments and workshops, is to explore scenarios in which these workflows can produce emergent architectural structures which are highly adapted towards the intended performance within their specific context and site. The research has produced a number of installations and prototypical structures which explore practical and theoretical dimensions of the methodology explored. It introduces intriguing new scenarios in which the architects’ role is focused on the indirect control of the process of design, allowing for a more openended process of negotiation between structure, users and environment.
