Arthur Mamou-Mani chats with Design and Build Review’s Lucy Ingham about the architect as the maker, collaboration in far flung places, and the future role of digital technologies in an ever-changing built environment.
‘While the at times otherworldly structures that his practice produces may seem removed from more traditional parts of architecture, he sees digital fabrication as a key part of architectures future, providing an antidote to what he sees as a growing separation between design and reality.’

We’ve won the RIBA Journal Rising Star Award.
This year’s award includes many young practices as well as architects who moved into project management, diversified into digital fabrication or took up charity work. While no one would advocate another financial crisis, it is often said that they breed creativity and spur on new thinking. The 2017 Rising Stars cohort is a testament to that. Let’s see where they take it over the next 10 years.

We’re in the Design Junction – “Where design meets architecture.” Read the interview on Arthur Mamou-mani.

See Arthur’s talk at NEXT BLD on Constructing (and deconstructing) buildings with cable robots.
The future of construction will be in robotic technologies. This revolution in the way we make buildings will impact not only how we design but how we think. We would like to anticipate this inevitable shift and lead it towards a positive robotic age. An age in which Robotic technology is simple, affordable, environmental and connected to our ancestral knowledge of materials. An age in which the architects, engineers and contractors will need to work more closely together, no longer in silos, and bring back the golden age of cathedrals and master-builders, in which the relationship between design, technology and construction was not segregated.
Current construction robotics are based on decade old robotic arm used for the car industry, they scale with difficulties, are expensive, and rely on material deposition. Following up on the open-source collaborative movement, which gave rise to disruptive innovations such as the RepRap 3d printer, we are developing a new kind of cable construction robot, The Polibot, working at an unprecedented large scale, merging the stadium spidercams with the delta pick and place open-source technology.
Arthur Mamou-Mani will introduce the Polibot, a robot capable of constructing and deconstructing buildings, demonstrating the cyclical nature of the building process and how demolition can be anticipated in the spirit of our new circular economy.
