ACCESS
Made By Robots exhibits an in-situ prototype of a more-than-human habitat for native bees and insects. This prototype uses tree cut-offs and is fabricated with the help of robots, articulating new forms of architecture and urban design which are beyond our existing human-centred approaches.
The project imagines how we can support biodiversity repair and regeneration at Fishermans Bend. Based on a holistic approach to urban design and development, suggesting networks and corridors of biodiversity habitats, traced across the post-industrial urban terrain.
This exhibition is designed and prototyped by students from the Digital Fabrication Elective; fabricated by Michael Park and the Robotics Lab at the Melbourne School of Design MSD, University of Melbourne; funded by FB IDEAs and Creative Futures Fund (MSD), and supported by Vaughan Constructions.
