I am Konstantina Laki, an architect working at the intersection of craft, computation, and robotic fabrication. With a Master of Advanced Studies in Architecture and Digital Fabrication from ETH Zurich, I focus on circular construction, adaptive reuse, and inclusive automation. My practice bridges research and architectural design through hands-on timber fabrication, on-site interfaces for human–robot collaboration, and computational design workflows. I am passionate about translating emerging technologies into accessible, sustainable architecture that respects materiality and craft.
