Architects, artists, and designers have been fascinated by robots for many decades, from Villemard’s utopian vision of an architect building a house with robotic labor in 1910, to the design of buildings that are robots themselves, such as Archigram’s Walking City. Today, they are again approaching the topic of robotic fabrication but this time employing a different strategy: instead of utopian proposals like Archigram’s or the highly specialized robots that were used by Japan’s construction industry in the 1990s, the current focus of architectural robotics is on industrial robots. These robotic arms have six degrees of freedom and are widely used in industry, especially for automotive production lines. What makes robotic arms so interesting for the creative industry is their multi-functionality: instead of having to develop specialized machines, a multifunctional robot arm can be equipped with a wide range of end-effectors, similar to a human hand using various tools. Therefore, architectural research into robotics is not so much directed at reinventing machines for architectural fabrication, but rather at reusing industrial robots as a well-established basis and adapting them for architectural purposes by developing custom software interfaces and end-effectors. By doing this, architects, artists and designers have advanced from being mere “users” of robots and have successfully emerged as recognized developers and trendsetters in robotic fabrication. This book publishes the proceedings of the fi rst international conference on robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design, Rob|Arch.                  .

Forschung in und über Architektur ist so komplex wie die Disziplin mit ihren Fachgebieten selbst, und oft bleiben die Ergebnisse deshalb separat. Der Band Research Culture in Architecture vereint digitale und analoge Forschungsfragen und zeigt, wie wichtig cross-disziplinäres Zusammenarbeiten in der Architektur heute ist. Die Komplexität und die zunehmende Spezialisierung werden in den einzelnen Kapiteln entfaltet und anschließend mit dem Kern der Architektur, dem Entwerfen, verknüpft. Wissenschaftler aus Theorie und Praxis präsentieren Forschungsergebnisse zu folgenden Themenfeldern: "Entwurfsmethodik", "Architektonischer Raum, Wahrnehmung und menschlicher Körper", "analoge und digitale Holzkonstruktionen", "Visualisierung", "Robotik", "Architekturpraxis und Forschung" sowie "Nachhaltigkeit". Research in and on architecture is as complex as the discipline itself with its different specialist fields, and therefore the results often remain unconnected.Research Culture in Architecture combines digital and analog research issues and demonstrates how important cross-disciplinary cooperation in architecture is today. The complexity and increasing specialization are elaborated on in the various chapters and then linked to the core of architecture, i.e. design.Scientists from the theoretical and practical fields present research results in the following subjects: "design methodology", "architectural space, perception, and the human body", "analog and digital timber construction", "visualization", "robotics", "architectural practice and research", and "sustainability".
