Description This study develops nutrient-enriched soil composite inks for 3D printing, followed by mycelium colonization to create large-scale, mycelium-based living building materials (LBMs). The research focuses on enhancing the properties of 3D-printed soil...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
This project investigates soil as a living construction medium by integrating robotic additive manufacturing with ecological performance. It begins by establishing a proof of concept at the material and prototype scale, demonstrating that extruded soil can function...
