Factory of the Future
The fourth industrial revolution is taking place. This revolution is characterized by digital and physical automation accompanied with an energy transition towards durable energy. The relation between human labor and production seems to reduce with this development. An answer to this phenomenon might be that, a world where robotics and artificial intelligence are ubiquitous asks for new social models and institutions. Therefor I propose a Robotic institute to incorporate these developments into existing urban society.
This organization has the following goals:
- Teach people the skills needed for the 21st century, e.g. programming, robotic manufacturing.
- Enable people to start their own projects in the fields of IT and robotics that are society relevant and deriving from society.
- Strive towards a world where robots and humans work together on all levels of society rather than separated.
The organization needs a space with both office and production possibilities.
Gradient Space
The difference between office and workshop is fading with the development of file to robotic production. A more direct link between concept, design and product is possible and therefore the separation in time and space between these phases is not that harsh as they used to be. Office space and production space are both flexible and integrated. There will be a gradient between the different phases of design, expressed in the space of the building.
Sketch of a simple gradient space.
Location
Kop van Java Eiland, Amsterdam
This part of Amsterdam is in the middel of the Ij, a large area of water. There hasn't been built since the transformation of the area into an area with shops, offices and housing. Before this transformation there these used to be the docks and industry of the city.
