A Robotic Choreography by Mamou-Mani
05 Dec 2018 to 03 Feb 2019
A live installation of a prototype cable construction robot, developed by architects Mamou-Mani, explores the future of building construction.
Building on the ‘spider cams’ of sports stadia and pick-and-place technology, the Polibot, a prototype construction robot, is installed in Sir John Soane’s Museum, offering a glimpse of the exciting future of building construction. The Polibot progressively constructs and then deconstructs Soane’s designs for the dome from the Bank of England, using architectural drawings translated into lines of code.
