This timelapse video shows the Waag Construction site at the PICNIC Festival 2011.

Waag Society brought together a team of designers, architects and craftsmen. They are combining ancient earth building techniques with computer-generated design. This digital fabrication in architecture makes it possible to transfer designs made on a computer to computer controlled machinery that creates actual building component. This is what they call: hypercrafting. But you can think of it as ancient Africa meets modern Europe as well.

The 3D designs were prepared at Fablab Amsterdam. The structures were erected in 3 days time from 14-16 September 2011.
