چکیده
The paradigm shift of digital fabrication encourages architects to incorporate the knowledge of using innovative materials and novel tools to solve problems in design and construction. However, the application of digital fabrication still needs more flexibility that allows different groups in a society to redesign fabrication processes based on their own needs and values. Looking at robotic facilities and natural mud as fabrication media, this thesis will experiment methods of digital design fabrication for freeform masonry construction by robotics to improve the conventional masonry process. It starts from a two-sided investigation: I. existing digital fabrication techniques and applications; II. conventional masonry methods and processes. Afterwards, two robotic prototypes of stereotomy will be presented. Through these two prototypes, robotic fabrication techniques and automation processes for on-site construction will be explored. Researches involved in this thesis aim to investigate a new approach which combines material ecology, mass customization, and construction automation for digital design fabrication, and to inquire the potential of mobile construction at remote areas under low technology.

By introducing new digital fabrication techniques and robotic fabrication in the 20th century, architects were encouraged to use innovative materials and novel tools to solve problems not only in design, but also in construction. Robots allow architects to design a more complex machining process for on-site fabricating work, but they were very costly and complicated as well. Because of rapid d...
