Seminarwoche Robotic Wood Construction

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Riccardo La Magna, Tamara Haußer

As part of Das Fest 2025, a large-scale 1:1 visitor pavilion will be built to showcase digital circular construction while serving as a venue for discussions on climate-related topics. The pavilion will then be reused for events in Karlsruhe such as Schlosslichtspiele.
"Robotic Wood Construction" explores the intersection of digital design and robotic fabrication, focusing on reusing residual and waste wood. By leveraging computational models and digital building technology, discarded wood is transformed into a resource-efficient, circular building material for structural components.
During this dedicated construction week, students will engage in hands-on assembly and construction of the pavilion, gaining insights into woodworking, digital tools, and automated robotic woodnailing and doweling..
