The attached multi-channel tool contains granular glass of different colors and enables the printing of polychromatic patterns. The granular glass surface is fused with the float glass at high temperatures in the kiln into one polychromatic glass element. Granular materiality is enhanced through a strategic play with robotic process parameters and robotic brush strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-1024x737.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-1024x737.png 1024w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-768x553.png 768w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-973x701.png 973w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1-508x366.png 508w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beyond-transparency_robotic-glass-printing@RenaGiesecke-scaled-1.png 1279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Image credit: Rena Giesecke, Digital Building Technologies<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customized computational tools are developed to design patterns of color and material deposition.
