The sculptural brick was is constructed by a robot which is mounted on a flatbed in order
to allow it to manuver around the installation.
The installation will take up to 4 weeks and it will be open for the public to view the process. The idea was to create a structural piece of art using high level of technology in order to create a script, using which the robot arm would place more than 7000 brings with extreme accuracy. The robotinc arm is the same arm that is used by many acr manufacturers in order to assamble automobiles. It seems like the idea that they are trying to pursue is full integration of technology into construction process. It has worked with cars, hence the next step is to use it on construction sites. In my opinion, the technology is still at a very early stage, and it is pushing the accuracy limits of building process to its extremes.
whoa! great minds think alike, huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think the wall as a sculptural response to the city? How does it project scenarios or produce a unique effects that affect streetlife? Or is the process of assembly, viewable by the public, which is the point of the installation?
ReplyDeleteWow Geo you beat me by 6 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThe installation process takes place in the city and it is viewable to the public. The idea, in my opinion was the usage of a programmed robot to construct/manufacture a building. Just like robots used in car manufacturing process. The reason for the oscillation, it think was to show off the fact that if it can be used to create a sculpture, it can also be used to construct a very organised building.
