Network

The NCCR Digital Fabrication was part of a significant network of academic, public and industry associations whose focus is the development of digital and robotic innovations for architecture and construction. Over 12 years the NCCR hosted conferences and symposia, and contributed to other network members activities, events, and projects. The most prominent Network Partners in this area are:
