The IAAC program Open Thesis Fabrication 2017-18 (OTF) proposes to design and construct 1:1 architectural elements that take advantage of the latest computational tools, additive manufacturing process and the great thermodynamic properties of adobe to achieve passive performative system for a bioclimatic architecture.

The wall challenge Walls is the occasion to print thin surfaces and explore the relationship between the geometry and the structural behaviour in adobe printing. When addressing structural properties in 3d printing, one should consider two main aspects: the structural integrity during the printing process, that is while the material is wet/uncured, and the one […]
This project aimed to explore whether that is possible to design and construct a multi-storey habitat, out of a sustainable material like adobe, within robotic additive fabrication in a dense urban context. Additive manufacturing in architecture is still in early stages. Although there are few projects that tried to face this approach, it is still […]
