The DFAB House in Zurich pioneers new technology at every single level 👩💻
Beyond automation and optimisation, the DFAB House, built by a team of architects and academics at ETH Zurich, wonders aloud how computational design and robotic fabrication is changing the aesthetics of architecture. For Matthias Kohler, architect and initiator of the project, understanding digital design is the route towards understanding a new sense of beautyThere’s something about the DFAB House that doesn’t look quite right.
Yet Kohler was equally interested to see what would happen next. What would people think of this house? The main part of the plan was it show people how digital tools affect the way we design, and to give society access to what this might mean so we can all discuss it, be intrigued by it and open-minded towards it too.
The DFAB House shows how digital fabrication creates a whole new ‘ecology’ of architecture, affecting everything from acoustics to cost, to the shape of your furniture. The collaboration with industry during the process was an important one: ‘We worked with 40 different industrial partners, they all learned with us, and they are taking on this knowledge into their reality. There is a transfer happening through the building.
