Over the last few months there have
been a few interesting stories in the media about self-constructing buildings
and structures such as Flight Assembled Architecture, Endless and Pike Loop.
Corbusier spoke of the industrialisation and mass-production at the start of
last century. As CAD and BIM are taking over at the start of this century, maybe
were moving towards fully automated mass-production. This got my bored, lecture
trapped mind thinking soon instead of printing we will be pressing ‘Build’.
Another great building robot....

Question is, should architects be trained in robotics so they can create the machines that build tomorrow's buildings?
