Registration to the Interactive Architecture Prototypes (IAP) workshop 2025 starts soon!

The IAP focuses on skill building in Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) methods for the development of architectural hybrid assemblies ranging from micro levels, as material systems, to meso and macro levels as building components and buildings.

Previous 3rd prize winning competition entry: Moon Station

Previous projects: Cyber-physical Furniture, Bio-Cyber-Physical Planetoids, Computer Vision and Human-Robot Interaction for D2RA, Scalable Porosity

Henriette Bier is speaker at Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam which explores the relationship between film, cities and architecture.

Intro to two documentaries featuring Morphosis’ Crawford House and Donaldson + Partners‘ Hill House at the Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam (https://lnkd.in/dzjGGnsn & https://lnkd.in/d-UyhQwJ) and meeting with Robin Donaldson (also a former Morphosis member) and Californian film makers Gregg Goggin and Susan Crawford Goggin has inspired moment of reflection on how Pritzker-winning architect Thom Mayne influenced our later careers.

Henriette Bier presents advancements in Extra-/ terrestrial Architecture at KIT, where she graduated 1998.

Extra-/ terrestrial Architecture is concerned with the development of design to construction approaches by transferring advanced technologies from terrestrial to extraterrestrial applications and vice versa. The focus is on the integration of advanced computational design with robotic techniques in order to produce highly performative architectural formations operating in a range of extreme to moderate environments. This requires that the design is directly linked to building production and operation relying on Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly & -Operation methods developed in collaboration with experts from computer, robotic, and material sciences in the Robotic Building lab.

Moonshot & Off-Earth Environments symposium organized by TU Delft Space Institute and Moonshot takes place 19 September 14-18:30h on TU Delft campus at ME faculty, lecture hall E and online.

Registration: Moonshot & Off – Earth Environments Symposium – Sept 19 – TU Delft Space Institute

Location: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering lecture hall E and online https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/91516911257


The DSI symposium attracted a large number of students and researchers interested in space exploration. In the first session TU Delft Moonshot activities including the new interfaculty graduation LA&I were presented followed by the Springer’s AE book presentation and future steps outlined in relation to recent work implemented at ESA and Blue Origin. The RB lab team also took the opportunity to celebrate 10 years since the lab has been established in 2014 as well as inaugurate the new interfaculty graduation LA&I, which is part of the Moonshot+ and the Extra-/ -terrestrial Architecture programs.
