ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Today’s concrete architecture is often dominated by repetitiveness and recognisable geometries like squares and rectangles. Digitally designed and extraordinary concrete architecture involves excessively high construction costs, due to the production methods based on craftsmanship. A way of opening up the prospect of a new and exciting concrete architecture is to find new automated industrial methods for the production of singular concrete structures. The aim of an ongoing Danish project called “Unique Concrete Structures” is to build alternative moulds by using robots and tailor-made self-compacting concrete that will spread in the moulds and thus shape concrete structures according to the architect’s instructions. A new High Technology Concrete Laboratory equipped with a robot cell and a fully automatic mixing plant has been established at the Danish Technological Institute.
