Robot Brickwork
Automated Fabrication of Brick Assemblies
Robotic brickwork merges one of architecture's most traditional materials with the precision and creativity of digital fabrication. By moving beyond the limits of manual, labor-intensive methods, this approach allows designers to explore non-standard geometries that were once unbuildable. With robotic systems acting as a bridge between digital design and physical construction, it becomes possible to directly translate computational models into highly customized brick assemblies.
These automated processes not only save time, but also introduce new architectural potentials. Unlike conventional bricklaying constrained by repetitive, linear routines, robotic brickwork embraces variation and complexity—treating each brick as a unique element within a broader composition. The result is a hybrid model of mass customization: the flexibility of bespoke design meets the scalability of digital manufacturing.
