Great Wired story about the need for robotic automation in the construction industry. Lot of interesting insights
By comparing the cost and time spent on human-built walls to walls built by robots, we found that as the level of complexity increases, automation pays off. Additionally, in the robot-built walls, architects, designers, engineers, and contractors had more flexibility to make late-stage adjustments without greatly increasing costs or causing delays.
The future of architecture enabled by such automation could create structures we could have had built before. The height of perfection would be when robots could build an average person a home that looks like it were designed by Zaha Hadid. I like imagining a world in which a city's skyline would have the vibrancy and diversity of beautiful land-forms.
