On Monday Michael Knauss from DFAB ARCH ETHZ during his lecture ¨Designing Processes¨, presented the research that is being developed at Gramazio & kohler DFAB ARCH and the projects that thay have constructed. Materiality is one of the key points of their research and throughout their processes one could tell that the complexity of the final result is arousing from a certain simplicity delivered from the design. Technology has a central position at DFAB and KUKA is the ¨right hand¨of the researchers.
