This project investigates biomimetic architecture in the time of the 4th industrial revolution as an architectural intervention implemented in a building from the 2nd industrial era. The architectural intervention is a structure consisting of wooden elements connected with 3D printed metal nodes.
Biomimetic architecture relies on design approaches that emulate models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of improving functional, structural, etc. performance. Biomimetic approaches were employed in this project for an architectural interv

About Robotic Building lab, TUD

The Technical University Delft (TUD) is the largest and oldest Dutch public technological university ranked in the top 20 best universities worldwide. The Robotic Building (RB) lab has been established in 2014 as the first robotic lab in the Faculty of Architecture at TUD. For the 3D printed node, RB collaborates with Joining and Additive Manufacturing (JAM) at TUD. The circular wood components wil be implemented in collaboration with Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS).
