GUIDED TOUR
DO ROBOTS DREAM OF CONSTRUCTION SITES?
Tuesday 24 November 2026
5.30pm – Tour of the exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? by Stefana Parascho, director of the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL, in English
6.30 – followed by the opening of the exhibition The Extraction of Value with Paolo Tombesi
What if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour? Research carried out by the CRCL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.
Can we trust a robot on a building site? This guided tour explores what it means to build alongside increasingly capable machines, and how collaboration between humans and robots could affect our buildings, our trades and, by extension, our daily lives.
