01
Project Overview
Robot Made 2025 UBC SALA explored full-scale timber construction through computational design, robotic fabrication, engineering, and collaborative assembly.
Developed at UBC SALA, the project brought together participants from architecture, engineering, fabrication, and industry to develop and construct a full-scale timber prototype.
The workshop connected digital design directly with material processing, robotic fabrication, prototyping, and hands-on construction.
