Robot Aided Creation and Construction (RAC-Coon)

Raccoon is a research group working at the interface of architecture, computation, and fabrication, especially robotic fabrication. We devote ourselves to making state-of-the-art equipment and algorithms accessible to architects. By integrating robots and computation at the heart of their workflow, architects would be able to create unprecedented design instruments and thus be in a position to answer contemporary demands with contemporary means and concepts.
