Automated Architecture (AUAR)
Automated Architecture (AUAR)

AUAR is a UK-based construction technology company reimagining homebuilding through robotics and AI. Founded by Mollie Claypool and Gilles Retsin, the practice develops micro-factories that automate the design and production of timber housing. These mobile, low-footprint units can produce the shell of a home in under 12 hours, enabling distributed, sustainable housing solutions. With a focus on accessible design, localized manufacturing, and ecological materials, AUAR merges architecture and automation to challenge extractive construction models and propose an alternative future for urban living.
