The Pavilion
The Future Now Pavilion is a large-scale robotically
built earthen structure based on research into rapid
clay formations.
It is built in the park of the Casa Firjan in Rio de
Janeiro – Botafogo using locally sourced clay of
different natural colors and is assembled with the
in-situ fabricator (IF): one of the world’s first mobile
construction robots.
The result is a large scale pavilion made from
up to 40 tons of material within a building area of
10x10 meters.

Reusable Building Material
from a Local Clay Pit
Using only reusable local clay that is ground and
mixed with sand and a cement-free sustainable
additive to enhance strength, the robotically controlled
construction technique demonstrates a radical take
on sustainable construction whilst expanding the
aesthetic vocabulary of architecture.

One of the First Context-Aware
In-Situ Fabricator
The in-situ fabricator is one of the first context-aware
mobile construction robot for fabricating directly on
construction sites. Its integrated on-board sensing
and computation system enables the autonomous
repositioning and adaptation of fabrication data
according to unforeseen material behavior and
fabrication-related tolerances – precisely translating
the virtual design into the real world.
As a generic robotic platform to which different
end-effectors can be attached, the IF is the first step
towards building entire buildings by digitally
controlled mobile machinery directly on site.
Gramazio Kohler Research together with the Agile and Dexterous
Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich developed the mobile construction
robot in-situ fabricator (IF) as part of their collaboration within the

In 2020, Rio de Janeiro will host the 27th World Congress of Architects, the “UIA 2020 Rio”, July 19th-23rd, one of the world's most important architecture forums. The congress will be the largest event in Rio de Janeiro since the Olympics. It is expected to receive about 15,000 architects, urbanists, engineers and policy makers from around the world. “All the worlds. Just one world. Architecture 21” is the event’s topic and aims to reflect contemporary issues in urban areas.

Rio de Janeiro has been named the World Capital of
Architecture 2020 by UNESCO and is hosting the
27th World Congress of Architecture.
12The Location: Casa Firjan
Casa Firjan is a newly built cultural centre and space
for entrepreneurship and innovation in Rio de
Janeiro’s Botafogo neighborhood.
With its garden area and facilities such as auditorium,
work spaces and a library, Casa Firjan provides a state
of the art events location.
The Pavilion will be installed in the garden area of
the centre while the conference will take place in
the auditorium with keynotes and panels as well as
workshops in the library.

16Gramazio Kohler Research
Since its inception in 2005, the research group at ETH
Zurich has been at the forefront of robotics and
digital fabrication in architecture. With their robotic
laboratories and work that ranges from fundamental
research to prototypes and buildings, they have
inspired architects and researchers alike to explore
the capacities of robots as a universal tool of the
digital age.

Advanced Studies ETH
Run by Gramazio Kohler Research
The Master of Advanced Studies in Architecture and
Digital Fabrication is an intensive twelve-month
postgraduate program run jointly by Master of
Advanced Studies and Gramazio Kohler Research.
The curriculum combines two of the most rapidly
developing fields in architecture: digital and robotic
fabrication. It equips students with the technical,
intellectual and artistic skills to master the digital
chain from computational design to full scale
building tasks.
The second term of the MAS program is split into two
consecutive full-scale design and fabrication projects.
The group of students works collaboratively on all
aspects from computational design to the digital and
