I am Konstantina Laki, an architect working at the intersection of robotic fabrication and computation. I am pursuing a Master of Advanced Studies in Architecture and Digital Fabrication at ETH Zurich under Gramazio Kohler Research, focusing on robotic timber fabrication and circular construction. My aim is to bridge craft with computation to enable adaptive reuse and inclusive automation in architectural practice. My practice bridges research and design, applying on-site fabrication and digital fabrication to connect craft with automation, enabling adaptive reuse and inclusive forms of automation. Through my work at Gramazio Kohler Research and collaborations with institutions like ETH Zurich and HELLENiQ ENERGY, I combine research and practice to advance robotic fabrication, fabrication-driven design, and circular construction.
