About

Foteini Salveridou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, architectural design, and augmented reality. Her primary contributions lie in reimagining traditional construction crafts through advanced technologies, most notably in her highly cited work on "Augmented bricklaying" (2020, 82 citations). This seminal study introduced a novel method for manually constructing intricate brickwork using real-time visual augmentation, validated through a full-scale, fair-faced brickwork facade for a winery in Greece. By bridging the gap between robotic precision and human craftsmanship, Salveridou demonstrated that complex, non-standard masonry can be achieved without automated machinery, empowering artisans with digital tools. Her research challenges the prevailing narrative that robotic systems are necessary for high-precision construction, instead advocating for human-centered augmentation. This work has had a significant impact on both architectural practice and digital fabrication research, inspiring new approaches to on-site construction. Salveridou’s achievements highlight her as a key figure in the emerging field of augmented craftsmanship, where heritage techniques meet cutting-edge interaction design.
