About

Raffael Petrovic is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic fabrication and architectural design, with a focus on transforming the residential high-rise through digital craftsmanship. His work challenges the standardization of Southeast Asian urban skylines by integrating bespoke, computationally driven elements into high-rise construction. In his seminal paper "Integrating Robotic Fabrication in the Design Process" (2014, 14 citations), co-authored with Michael Budig and Jason Lim, Petrovic explores how robotic technologies can liberate the high-rise from serial production, enabling customized design solutions at scale. His follow-up study, "Design of Robotic Fabricated High Rises" (2014, 9 citations), further advances this vision by proposing novel fabrication workflows that merge computational design with robotic assembly. Though his citation counts are modest, Petrovic’s work is notable for its forward-looking approach, directly addressing the tension between mass production and architectural uniqueness in dense urban environments. His research has influenced early-stage explorations in automated construction, positioning him as a key voice in the discourse on robotic fabrication for high-density living.
