About
Maite Bravo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, robotics, and sustainable construction. Her work focuses on developing novel fabrication techniques that integrate natural materials with advanced robotic systems, particularly drones, to transform building practices. Bravo’s most notable contribution is the development of “Bioshotcrete,” a groundbreaking technology that employs drones to spray dry and liquid clay mixtures over temporary lightweight formwork, enabling the creation of self-standing shell structures. This innovative approach, detailed in her 2018 paper “Dry and Liquid clay mix drone spraying for Bioshotcrete,” has garnered attention for its potential to reduce construction waste and carbon emissions by replacing conventional concrete with earth-based materials. While her citation count is still growing, Bravo’s work represents a significant step toward automated, eco-friendly construction, blending expertise from robotics, engineering, and architecture. Her research is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in sustainable building technologies, drone applications, and the future of digital fabrication in architecture.
