The system utilises parallelised, coordinated fibre-fibre interactions to create nodes in a spatial network, combining the design space of lattice- and surface-based structures. The nodes retain topology during transformation between flat-packed and tensioned states, thus enhancing logistical flexibility for curing and deployment. The system is developed from the micro (fibre nodes and local structural behaviours), meso (fibre topologies and component types) and macro (global design and computational workflow) levels. A notation system defined based on elementary lacing actions informs a graph-based modelling method to represent fibre geometries and integrate fabrication information. The design and construction of a 2.4 m physical artefact demonstrate the Spatial Lacing system, which showcases unique fibre tectonics unachievable by existing production methods.

Within the context of modular timber structures, segmented timber shells are of great interest for large span applications. These structures predominantly confront external loads through membrane action and therefore have reduced bending moments. During erection of these structures, assembly stages with unfavourable spanning conditions and high bending moments occur. In traditional construction methods, scaffolding is built below the shell structure to stabilize the assembly steps. This temporary reinforcement results in uneconomical, time-consuming and labour-intensive construction. Moreover, they create a congested working space which sometimes results in unsafe working conditions for laborers. The research proposes a design method which reimagines the reciprocity between the design, the on-site robotics and the coordination of the on-site equipment as a structurally-informed design for assembly methodology for segmented timber shell structures. It brings the possibility of supportless assembly and automated erection, while opening up unexplored design possibilities for segmented timber shells.}, author = {Shad, Anand and Sahin, Ekin Sila and Malafey, Anastasia and Bechert, Simon and Maierhofer, Mathias and Knippers, Jan and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Innovation, Sustainability, Legacy: Proceedings of the IASS 2022 Symposium affiliated with APCS 2022 conference}, editor = {Xue, Su-duo and Wu, Jin-zhi and Sun, Guo-jun}, keyword = {segmented timber shells, assembly rules, geometry optimization, timber joint, crane coordination, automation}, pages = {1526-1537}, title = {Assembly-Oriented Design Methodology for Segmented Timber Shells}, year = 2022 }

The classification is based on a reproducible search method capable of incorporating findings from different domain-specific databases to systematically retrieve relevant literature for ABMS in architecture. Subsequently, in each of the ABMs encountered in the selected literature, we identify what entity an agent in the model represents. Based on this identification, a comprehensive classification for ABMs in architecture is achieved. By describing each of the resulting categories, we provide new insights into the field of ABMS in architecture.

The parallelized fabrication logic, which takes inspiration from textile production methods, is inherently different from existing construction techniques using continuous filaments and poses new challenges for fabrication. The paper proposes a distributed cyber-physical platform with mobile robots that can exceed size and flexibility limitations of industrial machinery. A hybrid behavior-based control schema is developed where robotic behaviors are abstracted from the traditional textile craft of bobbin lace-making and adapted for robotic execution through coordinated collaborative action sequences, creating a new robotic action space for filament structures. Parallel task execution, real-time sensor feedback, and the coordination of multiple distributed agents is achieved through a multi-threaded software architecture. This paper focuses on the development of the cyber-physical fabrication platform including custom robotic hardware, derivation of robotic behaviors, task generation and coordination, and multi-agent communication protocols. The research finds its point of departure from textile craft processes and demonstrates new potentials in construction with filament materials when multi-robot systems perform coordinated tasks that depend on simultaneous actions. It culminates in the choreography of two mobile robots performing actions required to create a Spatial Lacing node in a parallel, coordinated fashion.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Tucker, Cody and Yang, Xiliu and Lehrecke, August and Maierhofer, Mathias and Duque Estrada, Rebeca and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th Annual ACM Symposium on Computational Fabrication}, day = 26, doi = {10.1145/3559400.3561995}, isbn = {9781450398725}, location = {Seattle, WA, USA}, month = {10}, pages = {1–18}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, series = {SCF '22}, title = {A Collaborative Multi-robot Platform for the Distributed Fabrication of Three-dimensional Fibrous Networks (Spatial Lacing)}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3559400.3561995}, year = 2022 }

Using this behavioral relationship as a driver, the robotic system is developed to deal with the unpredictability of natural materials in construction and further to engage their dynamic characteristics as methods of locomotion and manipulation during the assembly of actively bent structures. Such an approach has the potential to unlock robotic building practice with rapid-renewable materials, whose short crop cycles and small carbon footprints make them particularly important inroads to sustainable construction. The research is conducted through an initial case study in which a mobile robot learns a control policy for elastically bending bamboo bundles into designed configurations using deep reinforcement learning algorithms. This policy is utilized in the process of designing relevant structures, and for the in-situ assembly of these designs. These concepts are further investigated through the co-design and physical prototyping of a mobile robot and the construction of bundled bamboo structures. This research demonstrates a shift from an approach of absolute control and predictability to behavior-based methods of assembly. With this, materials and processes that are often considered too labor-intensive or unpredictable can be reintroduced. This reintroduction leads to new insights in architectural design and construction, where design outcome is uniquely tied to the building material and its assembly logic. This highly material-driven approach sets the stage for developing an effective, sustainable, light-touch method of building using natural materials. }, author = {Łochnicki, Grzegorz and Kubail Kalousdian, Nicolas and Leder, Samuel and Maierhofer, Mathias and Wood, Dylan and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Realignments: Toward Critical Computation - ACADIA 2021}, editor = {Farahi, Behnaz and Bogosian, Biayna and Scott, Jane and García del Castillo y López, Jose Luis and Dörfler, Kathrin and Grant, June A. and Parascho, Stefana and Noel, Vernelle A.

  @inproceedings{maierhofer2020designing, abstract = {The introduction of cybernetic principles to the architectural discourse some 50 years ago stimulated a new notion of buildings as dynamic and under-specified systems. Although their traditional conception as static and deterministic objects has remained predominant to this day, concepts for adaptive architecture capable of interacting with their surroundings and occupants have gained renewed attention in recent decades. However, investigations so far have largely concentrated on small-scale applications or individual adaptation strategies. The notion of situational open Environments, as argued in this paper, provides a framework through which adaptivity can be conceived and explored more holistically as well as on an inhabitable scale. Environments reject deterministic design and adaptation solutions and hence call for integrative and interactive design strategies that not only allow for the exploration of particularly adaptable (i.e. underspecified) architectural morphologies, but also for the communication and negotiation during their further development beyond deployment. In respect thereof, this paper discusses the potentials and implications of computational (design) strategies, meaning the agencies of buildings, designers, residents, and surroundings. The presented research originates from the author's involvement in an interdisciplinary research project centered around the development of an adaptive high-rise building that incorporates various adaptation strategies. }, author = {Maierhofer, Mathias and Ulber, Marie and Mahall, Mona and Serbest, Asli and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Anthropologic – Architecture and Fabrication in the Cognitive Age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference 2020}, doi = {10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.575}, editor = {Werner, Liss C. and Koenig, Dietmar}, isbn = {978-9-49120-721-1}, issn = {2684-1843}, title = {Designing (for) Change: Towards adaptivity-specific architectural design for situational open enviornments}, venue = {Institute of Architecture, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany}, volume = 2, year = 2020 }

  @inproceedings{maierhofer_self-choreographing_2019, abstract = {The aim of this research is to challenge the prevalent separation between (digital) design and (physical) operation processes of adaptive and interactive architectural systems. The linearity of these processes implies predetermined material or kinetic behaviors, limiting performances to those that are predictable and safe. This is particularly restricting with regard to compliant or flexible material systems, which exhibit significant kinetic and thus adaptive potential, but behave in ways that are difficult to fully predict in advance. In this paper we present a hybrid approach: a real-time, interactive design and operation process that enables the (material) system to be self-aware, fully utilizing and exploring its kinetic design space for adaptive purposes. The proposed approach is based on the interaction of compliant materials with embedded robotic agents, at the interface between digital and physical. This is demonstrated in the form of a room-scale spatial architectural robot, comprising networks of linear elastic components augmented with robotic joints capable of sensing and two axis actuation. The system features both a physical instance and a corresponding digital twin that continuously augments physical performances based on simulation feedback informed by sensor data from the robotic joints. With this setup, spatial adaptation and reconfiguration can be designed in real-time, based on an openended and cyber-physical negotiation between numerical, robotic, material, and human behaviors, in the context of a physically deployed structure and its occupants. }, author = {Maierhofer, Mathias and Soana, Valentina and Yablonina, Maria and Suzuki, Seiichi and Koerner, Axel and Knippers, Jan and Menges, Achim}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2019.654}, editor = {Bieg, Kory and Briscoe, Danelle and Odom, Clay}, isbn = {978-0-578-59179-7}, journal = {Ubiquity and Autonomy: Proceedings of the 39th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA)}, month = {10}, pages = {654--663}, publisher = {ACADIA}, title = {Self-Choreographing Network: Towards cyber-physical design and operation processes of adaptive and interactive bending-active systems}, venue = {University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, Austin, Texas}, year = 2019 }
