Benjamin ENNEMOSER: This project is about the speculation on applied robotics in architecture. The robots are fully integrated building parts which behave like animated characters and change the topology and gestalt of the architecture over time. These processes are linked to our digital environment and should live up to the habits in popular culture and society.

Jeff HALSTEAD & Danny KARAS: Carving in architecture is typically subjected to material that is quite homogeneous in relation to the scale in which it is buildable (carving out a marble column).

Luca PEDRIELLI: Oximoron is a research thesis in the field of computational aesthetics through the application of topology optimization strategies for a skyscraper design in Shenzhen (China); the figure of speech that combines contradictory terms better describes the thesis subject: the erosion, a sort of creative destruction, the construction of space through matter subtraction.

Panagiota KOULALI: This work introduces an autopoietic system and its structure. An autopoietic system is a closed topological space that continuously generates and specifies its own organization through its operation as a system of production of its own components, and does this in an endless turnover of components.
