About

Fabio Gramazio is an architect and Professor of Architecture and Digital Fabrication at ETH Zurich, where he leads Gramazio Kohler Research. In 2000, he co-founded the highly influential architecture practice Gramazio & Kohler with Matthias Kohler. Together, they have been fundamentally instrumental in establishing the field of 'Robotic Architecture', opening the world's first architectural robotic laboratory at ETH Zurich. From 2017 to 2019, Gramazio served as the Director of Studies for Bachelor and Master Architecture at ETH. His research focuses predominantly on merging advanced architectural design with additive fabrication processes through the customized use of industrial robots. His pioneering work—including the robotically assembled Gantenbein Winery facade and the NEST Empa building platform—redefines how digital technologies can orchestrate materiality, physical form, and spatial organization.
