Chronos, built for a cafeteria, was renovated from an old industrial brick building. In this project, an automatic system by an industrial robot arm was implemented on-site to ensure the quality of steel structure construction. Because the site is adjacent…
After ASW moved into the robotic lab, a double-deck space renovated from a standalone building made by shipping containers, the meeting room needs a table to demonstrate ASW’s speciality of design in 3D printing technology. Considering the room is facing…
“Trees-Parency” is a workshop of digital design and fabrication. This project, formerly a carrier-made house for an industrial robot arm, demonstrates an intensive collaboration between people and automate machine. Meanwhile, U-glass features a new instance of architectural form. For increasing…
This is a successful collaboration between Prof. Li Wei, a notable fashion design and educator in Tsinghua University, and Dr. Yu Lei. It was also a happy journey between art design and 3D printing technology. TPU, a type of 3D…
Rabbit Dens is a 3D printed playground. It pops up to create a rabbit-like habitats for inspiring kids to explore the natural form above and under a pulpy surface. Regarding its unique shape, 3D printing technology was entailed to produce…
Flex Wall is an artistic landscape installation of a combination with computational design, landscape architecture, interactive design, and robotic technology. This ‘wall’ functions as a vision separator in length of 60 meters between a main pathway and a parking plaza.…
Arachne, designed in 2015 and completed in 2017, is a project of 3D printed building façade designed and fabricated by ASW. Strictly speaking, it is an extra “mesh form” wrapped on top of the existing enclosure. A solid goal was…
Cabala is a 3D printed building sculpture of 12 meters tall. For ASW, this was the first endeavor of exterior installation. After the success of Vulcan Pavilion, we intended to implement 3D printing technology on building façade. Cabala, delivered within…
Vulcan is named from Latin – ‘volcano’. Therefore, Vulcan Pavilion indicates a sense of fear and respect to the unpredictable forces of mother nature. Vulcan, as a shell structure which is subdivided into three identical modules by 120 degrees each,…
Inspired by the micro-structure of spider thread, Robot Spider was created in a workshop at Tongji University in 2014. At the beginning, our team looked forward to making a robotic 3D printing system that can produce a cobweb to cover…
