How to Build a House: Architectural Research in the Digital Age

Exhibition runs from:
September 12 – October 13, 2019
Tuesday – Friday 2pm-7pm, Saturday and Sunday 12pm-7pm

Location:
41 Cooper Gallery at The Cooper Union

How to Build a House: Architectural Research in the Digital Age showcases the conception and making of the DFAB HOUSE, the world’s first fully inhabited building to have been digitally planned and largely built with the help of robots and 3D printers. The exhibition is presented by The Cooper Union’s Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture and swissnex, the Swiss global network connecting the dots in education, research, and innovation.

How to Build a House is a visual journey through research on the digital transformation of architecture and construction. It reveals the genesis of a three-story experimental building in Switzerland. This house results from pioneering works in computational design and digital fabrication by architects and experts in fields ranging from robotics to materials science at ETH Zurich.
