I’m Not a Robot

A tower assembled by drones. A vineyard façade crafted by industrial robots. At the Utzon Center, the exhibition I’m Not a Robot: Design and Architecture Between Human and Machine presents Gramazio Kohler’s previous and ongoing exploration of how architecture emerges through collaboration between humans and machines. The robot is not an autonomous entity but an extension of the architect’s hand, a precise and evolving tool that translates digital logic into material form.

The exhibition brings together Gramazio Kohler’s architecture and research into robotic fabrication and computational design of the last two decades, with projects such as Remote Material Deposition, Flight Assembled Architecture, Semiramis and Impact Printing. The work reflects on how computation and craftsmanship can coexist, allowing new architectural and design languages to arise from a new dialogue between data and matter. Alongside, two archival pieces, the Programmed Columns (2010) and the Robotic Fabricated High Rises (2013), have been restored for the occasion, offering a reflection on the possible restoration practices on robotic fabricated pieces itself. Within a broader cultural and historical context, the exhibition reflects on how robots and artificial intelligence continue to redefine design and architecture, not as an opponent, but as a very sophisticated tool, one that we can understand, control, and also take pride in using.

Opening: November 20, 2026, 7 p.m.
