Bier, H.H. (author)Robotic systems are increasingly incorporated into building processes and buildings. The question for the future is thus not if but how robotic systems will be integrated into architecture and the built environment. Such systems have a major impact due to the convergence of multiple technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), large-scale...book chapter 2023

Bier, H.H. (author), Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Mostafavi, Sina (author), Anton, A.M. (author), Bodea, I.S.B. (author)Robotic Building implies both physically built robotic environments and robotically supported building processes. Physically built robotic environments consist of reconfigurable, adaptive systems incorporating sensor-actuator mechanisms that enable buildings to interact with their users and surroundings in real-time. These robotic environments...book chapter 2018

Bier, H.H. (author), Mostafavi, S. (author)Data-driven architectural production and operation as explored within Hyperbody rely heavily on system thinking implying that all parts of a system are to be understood in relation to each other. These relations are increasingly established bi-directionally so that data-driven architecture is not only produced (created or designed and fabricated...conference paper 2014
