About

Rebeca Duque Estrada is a computational design and robotic fabrication researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, fiber-based architecture, and sustainable construction. She has made significant contributions to the emerging field of coreless filament winding (CFW), pioneering cooperative multi-robot systems that enable the precise spatial arrangement of fibrous materials without traditional formwork. Her most cited work, "Spatial Winding" (2020, 30 citations), introduced a heterogeneous multi-robot fabrication platform combining a six-axis robotic arm with a custom CNC gantry system — a landmark contribution to architectural robotics. Subsequent research expanded this trajectory through projects such as "Spatial Lacing" and "Slack Pack," exploring distributed and dual-robot fabrication strategies for lightweight, multi-topology fiber structures. Her contributions to the "Maison Fibre" project demonstrated the real-world scalability of hybrid FRP-timber systems in multi-story architectural applications. More recently, Duque Estrada has extended her expertise toward sustainable construction, investigating natural fiber-timber hybrid structural elements as low-carbon alternatives to conventional materials. Collectively, her body of work — accumulating over 50 citations — positions her as an important voice in the future of computationally driven, robotically fabricated, and environmentally conscious architecture.
