6.0 Conclusion

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, it has been a rewarding journey to design and construct a self supporting column that fuses aesthetics and purpose. It not only uses the digital tools to the best of their potential but also help to create a natural ecosystem. Through weeks of prototyping and testing, we have come a long, pushing the boundaries of 3D Printing using robotics and clay and have learnt immensely about the properties of material and the potentials of using digital tools and robotics in architecture.

I would like to thank my tutors, Ryan Pennings and Lewis Edwards for their continuous support. Their insights have really helped us shape our ideas into reality.

I would also like to thank my group mates, Xiong and Andy (Task 2) and Lynn, Johnny, Tammy and Yichen (Task 3). It was a pleasure to work with all of them and great way to learn new ideas, strategies and teamwork.
