Robotic Glass Pavilion

A pioneering research project at ETH Zurich exploring the intersection of robotic fabrication and glass processing. This project investigates innovative digital techniques for coloring and thermoforming glass using robotic systems, pushing the boundaries of architectural glass applications.

The research focuses on developing new methodologies for precise glass manipulation, color application, and forming processes through robotic automation. The pavilion serves as both a test case and demonstration of these advanced fabrication techniques.

This work contributes to the broader field of digital building technologies, showcasing how robotic systems can enhance traditional glass fabrication processes while maintaining precision and expanding design possibilities. The project demonstrates the potential for automated glass processing in architectural contexts, opening new avenues for complex geometries and surface treatments that would be difficult or impossible to achieve through traditional methods.
