01
Project Overview
Robot Made 2025 investigated how reciprocal timber structures could be designed, fabricated, and assembled through an integrated computational and robotic workflow.
The pavilion was developed through parametric design, CNC processing, and industrial robotic fabrication, translating a digital structural system directly into bespoke timber components.
The final structure consisted of 110 unique timber elements designed for rapid, measurement-free assembly and scaffold-free construction.
