Autonomous manufacturing and cyber physical systems are key enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution IR4 which are currently being incorporated into the building design and construction industries These emerging IR4 technologies have the potential to effectively improve construction affordability and productivity address current and future building demand and reduce the environmental impact of the built environment However design approaches that make use of IR4 technologies are still relatively unexplored While automation such as mass production promotes standardised design solutions design thinking that embraces varying degrees of autonomy can lead to unique and considered approaches to design on an industrial scale Behavioural Production Semi Autonomous Approaches to Architectural Design Robotic Fabrication and Collective Robotic Construction explores design operating through the orchestration of spatiotemporal events A multi agent behaviour based approach to computation is employed in architectural design and extended to individual and swarm based robotic methods for additive manufacturing Behavioural Production seeks to expand our capacity to engage with the world at large through varying degrees of autonomy In an industrialised wo

Esta publicación muestra el importante papel que las estaciones de servicios tuvieron en las vanguardias arquitectónicas de la posguerra en España, además de destacar como estas construcciones, de tamaño limitado, dispersas por la geografia, han servido, casi desde el anonimato, como laboratorio de investigacion a sus creadores en una epoca de cambios radicales en la arquitectura. Desde 1927, año de la construccion de la gasolinera Porto Pi, diseñada por Casto Fernandez-Shaw Iturralde, y de la creacion del Monopolio de Petroleos en España, hasta mediados de la decada de los sesenta, fueron numerosos los ejemplos de arquitectura vanguardista que se dieron cita en esta tipologia, que por otra parte parece estar proxima a su fin tras solamente cien años en servicio.
