The University of British Columbia Has Robotically Fabricated Furniture
Kalina Nedelcheva — November 3, 2018 — Art & Design
The manufacturing process is being severely impacted by cutting-edge developments in the tech industry and this robotically fabricated bench is a clear example of that. Fifteen students from the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA) and the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing (CAWP) collaborated on a temporary wooden pavilion that exhibited a masterful application of computational skills.
Supported by 21 external partners, the students debut a robotically fabricated bench. The creation is a result of a workshop ('Robot Made: Large-Scale Robotic Timber Fabrication in Architecture') that took a look of how digital tools are impacting both the design and manufacturing industries. With an exceptionally sculptural design, the public seating is definitely eye-catching and interesting.
