Bitmap-driven Parametric Wall for Robotic Fabrication
With the emergence of novel tectonics in architecture and as a result of the ongoing advancements in digital modeling, the robotic fabrication is rapidly gaining popularity within the building construction industry. This paper presents a proposal for an a

Method
The new relational model forms the methodological basis of the research, and helps to identify essential parameters of geometrical consequences when material or technique is changed. Hence, the purpose of the model is to determine possible relations between a concept (idea), the material (concrete), and the technique (a mould material subjected to a technology), as presented in the final construction. The arrows in the model illustrate crucial considerations when choosing which forms, materials, and technique to work with. Three case studies are presented in this paper, investigating how these relations might unveil new ways of casting concrete in complex shapes, while fitting into the mode of production suggested by the available technologies.
