/ Le Corbusier Dom-Ino House / Giving the freedom for architecture, this concept was generated by architect Le Corbusier. A redefinition of the basic composition of architecture. The more simple this architectural model is the more diverse the generation of this module can achieve. This architecture prototype generally defines the structure as three main parts: “columns”, “plan”, and “corridor”. / The Five Points of a New Architecture / 1. Pilotis / elevating the building off the ground 2. ambiguous boundary of the ground floor 3. Free Facade 4. Horizontal window module 5. Roof garden

13 _______

I

In term of this five perspective, a keyword which Le Corbusier indicating is “ ntegration ”. The integration between 1/ interior and outdoor space 2 / interior pathways and traffic circulation 3/ structure engineering thinking and architectural aesthetics 4/ architectural vertical volume and horizontal space extension 5/ architectural design and landscape architectural design.

/ Reconstruction and Redefination / 1. Elements’ functionalization / Each structural element can reconstruct and redefine as the other structure’s function.

2. Elements’ reconnection and living module’s spatial aggregation / Development each elements’ certain aggregating units and reconnect them into a particular behavior.

3. Sequential boundary space making / The architectural boundary is indeterminate. The continuous connection and deformation are two characteristics for this indeterminate boundary.

/ continuous changing architecture boundary / The open-ended boundary enables architecture to reconnect and deform with the new environment and new architectural modules.Imil conlosti, erevit ius, quem in verritilium at, cote cul vir que pectoribunum menitri plia comne poremoe raequos ex su effre consum

/ Robotic Fabrication in architecture / Robots fabrication’s scale and quality depend on different types of robots and different kinds of manufacture. As for this Project, the high movement freedom and structural load are two major requirements to achieve. As a Robot, this living architecture can aggregating and moving around the Martian landscape.

As a structure, when the higher and bigger scale it going to achieve, a certain structural load level will be crucial and essential to it.

ctu

From traditional manufacturing to robotic manufacturing, the biggest difference is the working character which has been changed form the humans to the robots. Another optimization is that the same material application method can be implemented into larger and various architectural scale. However, a further design stradgy of this project is optimizing manufacture form robotic fabrication to modular self-assembly fabrication in architectural scale. re S
