The Postgraduate in 3D Printing Architecture is a 6-month long intensive programme in the field of additive manufacturing of sustainable architecture. Between the use of advanced technology for construction and the desire to develop a holistic design approach to architecture, we engage with different areas of research that include robotic manufacturing, material research and performance-based design. The programme seeks to develop technological and architectural solutions in collaboration with Industry partners to answer the current needs and challenges of our habitat.
Co-Respira focuses on the home’s most important space—a place to gather, relax, share moments, or spend time alone—while creating opportunities for different generations to coexist within the same environment. Responding to today’s housing challenges, including increasing density, social isolation, and the need for more sustainable living models, the project proposes a co-living approach that balances privacy … Read more
Case study of a 3D printed project Site Organization The site plan was developed to support a continuous and efficient design-to-production workflow, integrating material preparation, digital control, and on-site fabrication into a single coordinated system. The spatial organization follows a clear operational sequence, from raw material handling to final deposition, reducing unnecessary movement, interruptions, and … Read more
– Vision 2025/2026 3D printing is increasingly entering the construction industry, with many examples of printed houses and buildings already realised. Its appeal lies in clear advantages: automation, speed, reduced material use, and minimal waste, all of which lower construction costs. Beyond efficiency, however, 3D printing offers architects significant design freedom, enabling an architecture that … Read more
Rooted in earth, bound by flavor “This co-living brings together four user profiles whose needs and daily rhythms shape the architecture of the project. A married couple with a child requires stability, clear routines, and functional domestic spaces; a young couple with cats needs calm and flexible environments that support living with pets; a divorced … Read more
