About

Shajay Bhooshan is a leading researcher at the intersection of architectural geometry, robotic fabrication, and computational design. His work fundamentally reimagines how complex structures are conceived and built, with a primary focus on advancing robotic 3D printing of concrete. Bhooshan’s major contributions include developing function representation methods for robotic concrete printing (19 citations) and pioneering print-path designs for inclined-plane printing of unreinforced concrete (7 citations), directly addressing the critical gap between rapid hardware development and producible geometric forms. His influential paper “Morph & Slerp” (9 citations) introduces a synthesis method guaranteeing that designed shapes are physically realizable by concrete-printing robots. Beyond digital fabrication, Bhooshan has made notable advances in curved-crease folding (6 citations), building on historic work to enable interactive design of folded surfaces from flat sheets. He has also developed mesh-based workflows for funicular structures (4 citations) and articulated a vision for cumulative, collaborative architectural geometry as a disruptive force in mainstream practice (3 citations). Through his research, Bhooshan bridges the gap between computational form-finding and tangible, buildable architecture, positioning him as a key figure in the future of data-driven, robotically fabricated construction.
