An experimental robotic fabrication system producing self-organized clay structures through an iterative process of deposition, scanning, and computation. Through a closed feedback loop, successive clay additions build on top of one another — yielding an emergent and open-ended process in which material properties are not subordinated to a predetermined geometry, but act as catalysts for aesthetic and structural explorations.
