PRESENTATION OUTLINE
concrete printing
say goodbye to concrete pouring
Skanska, Foster + Partners, and Loughborough University teamed up to create the world’s first commercial 3D concrete printing robot. they focused on developing a robot capable of printing complex structural components with concrete.
Earthquake-proof columns
making structures more secure
A team of California-based designers have invented an earthquake-proof column built of 3D printed sand, assembled without bricks and mortar to withstand the harshest seismic activity. The ‘Quake Column‘ is comprised of a pre-determined formation of stackable hollow bricks which combine to create a twisting structure, optimized for intense vibrations in zones of earthquake activity. The column can be easily assembled and disassembled for use in temporary and permanent structures.
Architectural modelmaking
making designs easy to visualize
From sketch maquettes and detail tests to diagrammatic and presentation models, the discipline of physically crafting ideas to scale is fundamental to the architect’s design process. it enables the designer to investigate, revise and further refine ideas in increasing detail.
