This space is intended to be a pavilion for resting and community gatherings of both villagers and tourists. The village of Darak is 170 kilometers far from Chabahar. As you travel through this area of Iran, you reach a point where the sea surrounds the sand dunes of the desert, which has attracted visitors from all over the world. The topography of sand dunes in these areas adds spectacular attractions to this area. given this amazing sandy desert, our best design option is to be inspired by nature.
"We designed this Project considering the traditional architecture of the region, which is affected by the abundant sunlight and high temperatures during the day. Furthermore, we were inspired by the curvature and fluidity of sand dunes in addition to the traditional construction methods of the fictile embowed houses," said the team.
"Our design team has utilized an innovative construction method by using 3D printing, which can use endemic materials, such as clay and sand, with a layer-by-layer method and create the form without any harm or disruption to the environment and the natural surrounding. We integrated the design of a dome-shaped shell with vaulted openings for stability. The plan with dimensions of 18 by 18 square meters (including the perimeter of the design) is designed in a circular platform, which is 10m high, for stability and strength."
This curved shape is transformed into layers on which the device will move and deposit material into it; bringing robotics to the construction site to manufacture the future. Through combining technological advances in robotics (cable robot and drones), natural materials, and CAD/CAM software, the aim of the project, which will be presented at Construmat 2021 In the village of Darak, is to bring automation to the construction site and allow the production of high-performance buildings and their monitoring in real-time during the construction.

The 3D Printing System presented in On-Site Robotics is used in 3D printed large-scale construction projects and even small-scale buildings that were made from natural materials. This system includes the cable robot Cogiro with an integrated CNC control which is able to automate the movement of the 3D extruder with precision.

The 3D Printing System presented in On Site Robotics is introduced to 3D print large-scale construction parts, and even small-scale buildings, made from natural materials. This system includes the cable robot Cogiro with an integrated CNC control, which is able to automate the movement of the 3D extruder with precision.
The system also integrates a curved, sand-based arch form based on Iran's traditional architecture project, integrating biodegradable, recyclable, and integrated areas. In addition, a custom script integrated into CAD software allows translating complex three-dimensional design forms into robotic paths.
The project focuses on the behavior of the soil for 3D printing when mixed with other ingredients (Such as sand), towards a better understanding of the material, and potential composites.
