Digital Fabrication with Additive Manufacturing - Key for Innovation in Construction
At this two-day workshop, innovative ideas will be developed in the field of architecture and construction, which will open up new possibilities with the help of additive manufacturing. Projects can be funded with up to CHF 25,000.
Architecture and construction shape our lives, our environment and our culture. Our buildings give us a home, they protect us from the elements, but construction has a significant impact on the environment and our surroundings.
The massive use of raw materials and CO2 emissions generated during the production and operation requires a rethink in planning and construction industry practices. Additive manufacturing at the large scale enables solutions for material efficient buildings with improved performance, and bespoke design.
We plan to focus on the following fields of interest:
> Design > Functionality > Material
