About

Mirco Becker is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, virtual reality, and adaptive architecture. His work focuses on developing novel workflows that integrate discrete modular building systems with robotic construction and immersive design environments. Becker’s major contributions include the creation of "Project DisCo," a virtual reality framework that choreographs discrete building blocks for intuitive, real-time design and fabrication planning. His most cited paper (4 citations) demonstrates how VR can streamline the assembly of complex modular structures. In "The migrating walls" (3 citations), Becker systematically compares mobile robotic fabrication strategies—testing different localization, locomotion, and interlocking systems—to enable autonomous, on-site construction with reconfigurable building parts. This work is deeply informed by research into ecosystems of building components, where structures can adapt and reconfigure over time. Becker’s impact lies in bridging immersive design tools with robotic construction, advancing the vision of truly responsive, self-assembling architecture. His ongoing exploration of VR-based design interfaces and mobile robotic workflows positions him as a key innovator in computational design and digital fabrication.
