Seminar on Robotic Landscapes
The Upper Gürbe Valley near Bern 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 debris events. During this seminar, various experts on digital fabrication and robotic systems, environmental studies, disaster risk management, hydrology and landscape architectural design will present their work in relation to the Gürbe River.
