NCCR DFAB researchers at ETH Zurich are investigating the use of Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing to repair complex metal façades from the late 20th century.

The Royal Society for Arts (RSA) announces its new Royal Designers for Industry, awarding the Honorary title, HRDI to Philippe Block.

Lucia Licciardello is investigating how 3D printed concrete can evolve from a material used mainly for non-structural elements into a reliable load-bearing option. Through two testing methods she aims to clarify its structural potential and support the development of future design rules.

Alumnus Aryan Rad built on his traditional training in structural engineering and developed an interdisciplinary approach that brings together architecture, computational methods, and digital fabrication to advance sustainable construction.

Spin-off Contouro is redefining the intersection of architecture, art, and engineering. Building on over a decade of research in digital fabrication, Contouro transforms complex computational designs into real-world structures, from monumental sculptures to innovative architectural elements.

Ena Lloret-Fritschi is Director of the newly established Institute for Sustainable Architecture and Technology at USI. The Institute promotes research and innovation in architecture by integrating heritage conservation and adaptive reuse, structural design and engineering, digital technology and…

NCCR DFAB alumna Prof. Kathrin Dörfler hosted the COMPAS_RRC workshop at the Technical University of Munich, bringing together experts and partners to advance robotic fabrication.

Following the successful organisation of the IASS 2024 symposium by the NCCR Digital Fabrication in Zurich, this year’s International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) conference was held in Mexico City.

Robots on construction sites? A threat to some, an opportunity for others. NCCR DFAB Researcher Sihui Wu from ETH Zurich is researching how technology can support people in their everyday work, and why it must not become a source of fear.

The second AdvancedAEC Postdoc Event took place at the University of Stuttgart at the Large-Scale Construction Robotics Laboratory (LCRL) in Waiblingen-Hohenacker. At the same time, the IntCDC invited visitors to an Open House.
