Flight Assembled Architecture is the world's first architectural installation that is built by flying robots. This work more "Quadrocopter" simultaneously - they lift and transport more than 1500 members and build this then to a complex architectural structure together. Jointly developed by Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello D'Andrea, herein the transitions between robotics and architecture dissolve and form new ways of dealing with architectural verticality and their materialization. The installation is also for an architectural project, which deals in a special way with the typology of the skyscraper. This has always been a central "focal point" of the architectural discourse and in this case forms the basis for a 600 meter tall architectural vision. This not only provides housing for about 30,000 inhabitants, but also features the widest variety of programmatic and urbanistic potentials. The project is located in the region Meuse (France). It takes this back to an existing TGV station, its direct links with Paris allows easy accessibility and authoritative involvement in the local context. It is ultimately the looming herein shifting digital design and production forms on an urbanistic true to scale, which not only provides an important view of an urban future, but also a radically new "perspectivity" of the digital age.
