Ministry of Design constructs robot facility using aluminium tube

Architects Ministry of Design headquartered in Singapore constructed a new robotic facility in order to educate and nurture robotics engineers into automating existing manufacturing industries. Ministry of Design uses aluminium rods and tube lights on the wall and ceiling inside the facility.

MOD said, “For maximum flexibility to the space, MOD introduced a "second" skin - developed to seamlessly create a dynamic space by deconstructing the ceiling and wall planes into an array of dazzling facets.”

“Each facet comprises stacked layers of hand-cut aluminium hollow tubing; rotating the direction of the tubes with every facet to create a bold multi-directional effect. The aluminium screen cladding also serves to cloak the necessary but unsightly mechanical and electrical services while allowing ease of access for operation.”

Ministry of Design (MOD) was assigned to design the branding and spatial experience for RACE, Robotics Application Centre of Excellence (RACE) in Singapore. The laboratory space is created to display a changing series of modular robots as well as for the company for hands-on training and lectures.

 “The random sprinkle of custom LED strips serves to highlight the multi-directional panels with a cutting-edge aesthetic. Overall, the space provides a suitable future-forward backdrop to usher in an age of automation and robotics.”
