Research

A self-assembling construction system utilizing machinic behavior and real-time decision making to enable architecture with a sensory system. noMad proposes a system, that can self-regulate and adapt, react to outside influences and demands and encourages both interaction and communication.

In a self-assembling fabrication approach of ‘negotiated space‘, noMad aims to enable architecture with a sensory system, localizing decision making by self-aware unit to unit communication instead of a deterministic, superimposed building plan.
