Light Experiment
a behavioural model, where the designer draws a series of fabrication pat- terns and the machine exe- cutes them alternatively; the switching from one pattern to the other is triggered by local spatial conditions that be also pre-programmed via a spatial “datascape”
#4 behavioural tree [struc- ture of alternative fabrica- tion behaviours] can be ac- tivated in real-time.

KUKA Experiments
Since machines like KUKA are directly inherited from the mass production of cars and other industrial product, a substantial part of the research will be devoted to experi- menting with alternative protocols of robotic fabrication to develop mass customized products and artefact; the task will be articulate the notion of mass customisation accordingly to the specific design scenario inherited from the research on hemp and to the particular material sys- tem subject of design experimentation.
We have identified 4 main communication protocols be- tween designer and machine that can be applied alterna- tively or in succession and that can drive both subtractive and additive machinic operations.
#1 graphic representation of a fabrication pattern to be transmitted to the machine to drive its tool. The resulting operation is the exact reproduction of the design pattern: variations can be obtained by controlling the analogue computational properties of the fabrication material.
#2 controlling the robot with a code, an algorithmic pro- tocol that drives the machine by looping simple actions. #3 a behavioural model, where the designer draws a series of fabrication patterns and the machine executes them alternatively; the switching from one pattern to the other is triggered by local spatial conditions that be also pre-programmed via a spatial “datascape”
#4 behavioural tree [structure of alternative fabrication behaviours] can be activated in real-time.
