Work Topic

Conventional concrete construction processes are highly efficient. Improving digital fabrication processes to build conventional structures is insufficient. This project aims at rethinking classical concepts of structural concrete to identify new opportunities for fast, sustainable and economic design and production offered by digital fabrication.
