Robotics, AI and architecture

How will AI and robotics revolutionise (or disrupt) architecture and the construction industry? Lauren Vasey from the Institute for Computational Design at the University of Stuttgart is at the forefront of robotic fabrication, using machines to build web-like glass and carbon fibre structures. She is in New Zealand as keynote speaker at the Paradigm Shift Series which is architectural event showcasing new technology. She believes that in the not too distant future, machines and AI will occupy new roles on construction sites.
