Architectural designSummary: Could automation turn architecture into a more accessible, mass‐produceable cultural project? Guest‐Editor Gilles Retsin recounts some experiments in this direction from the B‐Pro Research Cluster 4 that he co‐directs at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, as well as from his private practice. Customisation here occurs in the assembly rather than in the building blocks themselves, with building syntax reduced to a small number of distinct elements, and resolution varying widely between projects. Design, rather than robotics, remains key.
