Urban Farm DB summary
This paper explores post-industrial robotics through prototypes developed with industrial partners, showcasing transdisciplinary experiments where environmental, structural, and material performances guide computational and robotic manufacturing processes. "Fusta Robotica" demonstrates tectonic exploration with non-engineered materials, while "Digital Urban Orchard" expresses a complex functional program based on form, function, and context. The analysis defines the limits and potential of this design approach, opening a debate on technological experimentation in the post-digital era.
