Philip F Yuan , founder of Shanghai‐based Archi‐Union Architects and Fab‐Union Technology, and Tongji University professor and doctoral researcher Keke Li develop novel advanced robotic fabrication techniques. Here they combine finite‐element analysis, machine vision and robotics to construct a reclaimed brick facade that would be impossible to build manually.
