Impossible Objects

Abstract

Abstract Jonathan Proto and Brandon Kruysman of Kruysman‐Proto, both design technologists at San Francisco‐based Bot & Dolly, a design and engineering studio that specialises in automation, robotics and filmmaking, describe their radical approach to architectural representation. They explain how by combining cinematic techniques and advanced robotic manufacturing they have been able to explore a new model for making that shifts the role of robotics in fabrication away from a process largely focused on geometric rationalisation into the sphere of visualisation and ideas creation.
