Robotic Fabrication Workflow

3D Printed facade panel with clay framework

   The goal of the project is to design a gallery, employing the developed integrative computational design and robotic fabrication process. The exterior facade will be constructed from high-performance concrete panels produced by casting concrete in 3D-printed clay formwork. This innovative method allows for complex and efficient designs, contributing to the building's sustainability goals.

Gallery for Art and Science in Princeton University

   The proposed gallery is a three-story building with an additional basement level, each floor covering approximately 200-300 square meters, resulting in a total area of 800-1200 square meters. Located in the city of Princeton or on Princeton University's campus, the gallery will serve as a vibrant hub for showcasing cutting-edge research projects and artistic endeavors produced by Princeton University's faculty,
