Global Summer School 2019 India node is a full-time two weeks course that provides both practical and theoretical knowledge. GSS2019 is organized by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), Spain, and D3LAB, India in collaboration with the Department of Digital Architecture at Dr. Bhanuben Nanavati College of Architecture Campus, Pune, India. Global summer school Program is a distributed education program around the world allowing a decentralized expansion of knowledge. Hence, GSS2019 taking place simultaneously in more than 15 different Nodes – cities around the world: Barcelona, New York City, Hong Kong, Pune, Moscow, Tehran, Melbourne, Beirut, Budapest, Shanghai, Quito and more.
‘Robots in Construction’ is an initiative by GSS2019 India node to re-think and re-purpose the construction process to change the way we build and develop processes and design tools, to have mass customized architectural elements at no additional cost by way of introducing robotics and automation in construction. The idea is to focus on revolutionizing technology and processes to address real-world problems and provide innovative solutions that are optimized and sustainable.
As part of the Program brief, as mentioned above, this is India’s first International Summer School Program to demonstrate the advanced robotic fabrication strategies for the applications in architecture and construction with an aim to establish a manifesto to make architects, designers and engineers as innovators and change agents in the construction industry. Hence, we design and execute minimal light-weight structure installation; as we call it ‘nyuntm’.
