'''The question left from Phase 1: The Challenge''' is how can robotic architecture provide a new intervention for architectural systems? how can robotics be apart of architecture rather than be an additional machine used as a manipulator? what can robotics provide where other technological system cannot?
+
 
+
'''The aim of the Phase 2: The Prototype''' is to explore these questions, and provide solutions or conclusions upon the robotic arm's potential in architecture.
+
 
+
Just some food for thought: what if architecture can be changed in real time with an robotic arm; in a way '''" Dancing with Robots "'''
+
 
+
 
+
'''The Robotic Arm'''
+
 
+
The main feature of the Robotic arm is it's multi-axial rotation and its gripper. The only changeable, flexible component however is the gripper. therefore the different designs of the gripper allow different manipulation of the object. sample grippers include: '''Hot wire Grippers, Suction Grippers, Clamp Grippers, Multi-Finger Grippers, Cutter Grippers etc...'''
+
 
+
each of these grippers provide a special manipulation tool which can be used to change an object. whether it is transporting, cutting, sculpturing, folding, pushing or pulling. how can these elements be used to change architectural qualities? what would be the outcome of this new intervention?

To keep the concept simple, we have selected the combination of multi-finger + suction gripper as the manipulation tool. by using these combinations, we are able to move objects or components in different directions (pushing and pulling.) hence the new structure was formed.
+
 
+
through the adaptation of the structure, a component where it can be flexible in both its scale and shape.
+
the wall can be slided across or rotated in both vertical and horizontal planes. this creates a large number of variation to cater for the different functions described in Phase 1. (functions include: toilets, energy sources, cafes, shops, offices, gallery, waiting areas, plaza, outdoor recreation areas etc...)
