Circularity Park, Oberglatt, Eberhard AG, 2021-2022
|
|
The Circularity park is a robotically constructed retaining wall and publically accessible terraced landscape park on the outskirts of Zurich in Oberglatt. It was conceptualized and built over a one-year period in 2021, and is the demonstrator of pivotal research in autonomous construction, robotics, and architecture conducted within the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication at ETH Zurich. It incorporates material and construction innovations by Eberhard AG, a local leader in sustainable construction and recycling for the building industry.
The two ongoing research projects behind the Robotic Stone Wall and the Robotic Landscape at the ETH Zurich investigate the design, control, and computational tools needed to enable autonomous robotic construction processes directly on the construction site with as-found building materials and local excavation material. Additionally, a team at Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich implemented its digital concrete Eggshell technology for the robotic production of the park’s benches.
