3D printing has attracted considerable interest for its potential for construction, but it may be robots that ultimately prove more impactful. We explore their potential for the industry. Plus, following its colourful, Bruno Taut-inspired glass installation in London last year, Space Popular is growing a serious reputation as an architectural practice to watch. We hear their vision for the future and why we are living in an age of “spatial illiterates”
Also in this issue, we find out how algorithms are increasingly being used to aid design across a host of industries, talking to T2.a Architects chief architect about the company’s algorithm-based design process, investigate how SME developers can help resolve the housing crisis, and take a look at how Foster+Partners have planned the headquarters of drone company DJI to incorporate the use of quadcopters in and around the building.
Plus, we look at some of the latest projects to break ground, as well as those that are finally ready to open and discover some of the key trends for office design in the coming year
For all this, and much more, take a look at the latest issue of Design & Build Review.
