Robots that Build – The Extension of Man

On Thursday October 20. Oliver Tessmann will present the installation Animate Concrete and other DDU research projects at the Robots that Build – The Extension of Man symposium and exhibition at the TU/e Eindhoven.

The show will feature large-scale models and prototypes that use robots in innovative and experimental ways in architecture and design. It is about the cooperation of man and machine, sustainable and circular materials and the potentials of digital fabrication. The exhibits showcase the versatile use of robotic fabrication through the application of various materials and techniques such as additive manufacturing, robotic weaving, casting and roto-molding. Materials range from concrete, steel and ceramics to wood, recycled plastic, clay, basketry and acrylic resin polymer. The exhibition will be held in the Plaza, Vertigo Building on the TU/e campus, TU EINDHOVEN Department of the Built Environment.
