Eco–Resilient Tectonics Architecture 

Description Eco–resilient Tectonics explores the development of living building materials (LBMs) through robotic 3D printing of earth–based substrates embedded with living organisms. LBMs offer a promising future for construction by enabling the integration of living...

Raster Orientation in Large-Scale Robotic 3D Printing of SCF-PLA  

This work is structured in two complementary phases that link material characterization with architectural-scale fabrication. Phase 1 establishes a fundamental understanding of how raster orientation and material composition influence the mechanical and...

Axisymmetric Column No. 1

Description Axisymmetric Column No. 1 exemplifies a novel approach to large-scale robotic additive manufacturing, utilizing curved-layer fused filament fabrication (CLFFF) on a pre-stretched textile. It explores how patterning affects CLFFF printing to develop a...

Chair No. 7: Human Parameters in Circular Design of Everyday Things

Chair No. 7: Human Parameters in Circular Design of Everyday Things Description In architectural design, the model of design to construction is constantly changing. One parameter in these permanent changes is human needs, most notably, the growing demand for...

Circular Mobile – Robot Additive Platform 

Description Advancements in robotic technology are ushering in a new era of autonomy in building construction, making it possible to employ soil–based materials through circular additive manufacturing. Multi–material additive manufacturing (MMAM) encompasses a variety...

ARCH 5500-003: Special Topics in Architecture
Ehsan Baharlou, Dr.-Ing.

Introduction to Computational Design and Construction “The manifest form—that which appears—is the result of a computational interaction between internal rules and external (morphogenetic) pressures that, themselves, originate in other adjacent forms (ecology). The...
