Architecture is always evolving. Be it the way buildings are designed, the processes by which they are built, or the materials used. But a new prototype from the University of Stuttgart takes this continuous evolution to a new level, with a reconfigurable canopy system for public spaces that is in a state of perpetual construction.
The Cyber Physical Macro Material as a UAV [re]Configurable Architectural System (hopefully the name will continue to evolve as well) combines cyber-physical building material constructed from lightweight carbon fiber filament with integrated electronics for communication and sensing, with a collection of autonomous aerial vehicles, dubbed builders.
