Abstract:

Introducing methods of Construction Automation in Architectural Design faces problems not always related to technical issues. This paper studies some of the past experiences which have transformed the Architecture of the XXth Century: how some of the changes in the industry have been interpreted by artists and society,their influence in the construction field through architects and engineers. It analyses the problems created by the lack of co-ordination and integration of all these features and proposes some solutions based on previous studies in Automation and its relation to Architecture Design.

Keywords: Architecture Design; Construction Automation
