Seminar on Robotic Landscapes
The seminar “A Heap of Language” is part of the Robotic Landscapes design studio of Professor Christophe Girot, Chair of Landscape Architecture and of Professor Fabio Gramazio and Professor Matthias Kohler, Chair of Architecture and Digital Fabrication that will run this fall at the ETH Zurich, Department of Architecture.
The site of the 2017 landslide of Cengalo in Bondo, Grisons has been chosen as the object of study for this design studio. Innovative robotic and topological modeling methods are used to shape and displace formless heterogeneous material into more resilient landscape structures that can withstand the forces of rivers and future events.
During this seminar, various experts on digital fabrication, robotic systems, mechanics of debris flows and rock avalanches, disaster risk management, hydrology and landscape architectural design will present their work in relation to the recent events in Bondo.
