Overview
DLAB - Robotic 3D Printing experiments with the integration of advanced computational design, analysis, and large-scale prototyping techniques. The Architectural Association programme builds on its expertise in complex architectural design and fabrication processes, with a strong emphasis on materiality and performance.
Features
The programme enriches the academic experience with a series of expert-led lectures and industry visits, providing students with valuable insights into the architectural profession. Previous lectures have featured renowned practices such as Grimshaw Global, Foster + Partners, PLP Labs, Mamou-Mani Architects, AKT II, Buro Happold Engineering, Zaha Hadid Architects, and TU Delft.
Student life at DLAB is active and engaging, supported by its London base, which offers access to one of the most dynamic architectural hubs in the world. Participants benefit from the city’s vibrant architectural scene, including office visits to leading firms and exposure to cutting-edge practices.
Programme Structure
The programme is structured in two stages:- Part 1 – Participants are introduced to core concepts of material processes, computational methods and digital fabrication techniques. Basic and advanced tutorials on computational design and analysis tools are provided. The programme performs as a team-based workshop promoting collaboration, research and ‘learning-by-experimentation’.
- Part 2 – Participants propose design interventions based on the skills and knowledge gained during Part 1 and supported by scaled study models and prototypes. The fabrication and assembly of a full-scale architectural intervention with the use of robotic fabrication techniques will then unify the design goals of the programme.
