ohhh and if that's not bad ass enough, his former professors at the ETH are rockin starrin' too. Here's a great winery via Daily Dose of Architecture, that was built with brick laying machines.
The architects worked with Gramazio & Kohler (walton's professors) on the facade, a double-skin of brick with polycarbonate panels on the interior. As they describe: "[a] robotic production method ... developed at the ETH [Zurich] enabled us to lay each one of the 20,000 bricks precisely according to programmed parameters—at the desired angle and at the exact prescribed intervals." Therefore a supergraphic composed of overlapped "grapes" could be created in brick in precast panels without the expense of numerous mock-ups or traditional masons. - via
