Computation or Revolution Pages (76-85)

‘Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything’, is a notable assertion by Paul Krugman. Productivity by the use of robotics is commonly found in many areas of industry, but can there be robotics in Architecure? Specifically in Architecture, there has already been a case carried out at EZCT Architecture and Design Research in 2010 whereby an ABB IRB 120 robot was developed to simplify the communication between industrial robots and CAD software. This is now known as the plugin Grasshopper. I think this as an example of how architecture can implement the use of robotics for the better, helping develop a way of creating generative algorithms.
