Abstract: Design and artwork driven by image sampling processing has a half-century
tradition in contemporary art and computer graphics. In the past two decades, a
similar approach has been used for the fabrication of abstract surface patterns for
building facades. Recent advances in digital manufacturing based on industrial
robots have reignited the interest toward developing new design-to-fabrication
techniques which can possess intriguing visual and tectonic properties of the
facades, based on image sampling processing and abstract image representation. The
aim of the paper is to investigate the different strategies for creating surface patterns,
based on image sampling and applying industrial robots as fabrication tools. In this
paper, three different robotic fabrication strategies for generating surface patterns
driven by image sampling are presented.

Keywords: image sampling, design patterns, computational design, robotic
