A designer describes how 3D printing and robots are making previously impossible building shapes feasible. At the Bartlett School of Architecture, he co-founded a lab with Jill Redson and Monique Leipold to use robotic fabrication for faster, safer, cheaper construction.

It was a very interesting moment when the digital started to become physical as well, right? So we were not only playing with forms and shapes that could not be conceived with the tools we had at the moment, but we were also starting to find ideas on how to materialize them using new machines, such as 3D printing, using industrial robots. And it was a very vibrant moment in the history of architecture that then continued to evolve in my career at the Bartlett School of Architecture, where I started running research lab with my friends, Jill Redson And Monique Leipold. We set up a very ambitious agenda that was mainly based on how to use, again, robots to create forms and shapes that would be inconceivable otherwise, to make architecture more robust, faster to produce, safer, and even cheaper.
