Mollie Claypool, founder of Automated Architecture

What Automated Architecture does

An architect and Associate Professor at The Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL, Mollie co-founded Automated Architecture to solve the housing crisis through technology. Using a network of robotic micro-factories, the company builds sustainable timber housing modules at 30 to 40 per cent lower cost than traditional methods. Their approach reduces construction waste and speeds up delivery. Mollie is reimagining how we build homes, making quality housing affordable and environmentally responsible.
