In Dübendorf, Switzerland the official opening of the world's first digitally planned and built residence now stands.

The three-story, 2,153 square foot smart house was developed by eight ETH Zurich professors who used innovative digital building techniques and programmed robots to perform various aspects of fabrication and assembly. A digitally designed floor was created using 3D sand printers and 295 specified framework parts to create the "Smart Slab." The Smart Slab allowed them to "create a free-form, highly optimized building component." Smart, dynamic casting systems allowed for digitally controlled concrete pouring which shaped the concrete while it hardened resulting in the production of mullions which were then assembled. Prefabricated timber was also used to construct the house's upper floor. An on-site mobile construction robot was programmed to assemble the pieces through sensory and computing systems which were designed to adapt to an array of construction variables.
