The aim of this thesis is to explore a process that enables the architect to design and fabricate while evaluating spontaneously and intuitively.
The hypothesis is that new technologies like augmented reality headsets, real-time motion tracking, and advanced robotic path planning could minimize the planning time for the fabrication to an amount where it is possible to integrate it into the fabrication itself.
