This paper enquires into the relationship between the rigorous graphic construction of penumbra and shadow and the idea of a developable surface circumscribed to two cores (whether these are curves or surfaces). The first rigorously constructed graphic representations of shadow and penumbra appearing in different historical treatises are contextualised and contrasted with the first works addressing the mathematical description of such surfaces. We describe how artisans and artists have employed physical and mechanical models to construct circumscribed developable surfaces, examining both their formal exploration and constructive formalisation. Next we extrapolate the mechanisms for generating circumscribed surfaces to digital and parametric models. The two procedures presented here evince the existing geometric limits of this way of generating a surface, thus influencing its constructive applications. Lastly, several examples of ephemeral architecture based on such procedures are offered, in which the digital design and manufacturing of experimental pavilions with circumscribed developable surfaces are addressed.

Scientific knowledge, ideally neutral and impartial, is inevitably shaped by geographical, economic, and cultural contexts. This research contends that overcoming the constraints of human and economic scarcity, inertia, and limited funding access demands development of collaborative research networks. To this end, four university laboratories from Brazil and Chile - UFRJ, UBB, UTFSM and UAI - have united to advance robotics applied to architecture. The methodology begins with an analysis of Industry 4.0, Fab Lab implementations, and robotics in architecture in the region. They identify key research aspects by mapping each laboratory’s activities and technologies to pinpoint expertise and potential collaborative areas. The authors propose a summary table comparing the labs and a chronological overview to track regional robotics advancement. To raise awareness among peers, the initiative involves joint actions such as courses, workshops and technical visits. 1 Recognising the scarcity of robotic units and the inapplicability of procedures from wealthier contexts, the authors draw on their lab experience to propose guidelines for implementing robotics research units in academia within the region. This includes technological alternatives, installation considerations, and detailed configuration reviews. The deployment of additional robotic units is a means to foster collaboration and bolster the network. Anticipated outcomes encompass increased critical mass, collaborative research initiatives, faculty and student exchange across institutions, higher publication rates, knowledge acquisition, and improved access to global funding agencies. In summary, the Southern Creative Robotics network initiative aims to catalyse the creative integration of digital manufacturing and robotics technology within design in the Ibero-American context.
