The Future of Architecture: How 3D Printed Concrete Is Subverting the Building Industry
6th May 2021
At present, automatization and 3D printing are comparably upturning conventions in the building industry with the promise of replacing mass fabrication with near-infinite customization. HANNAH’s investigation of the new material began with Additive Architectural Elements — a series of design experiments that poke at the ornamental and structural possibilities of this emerging construction process. The highly tactile Elements begins to answer what 3D printed concrete should look and feel like, probing its structural capacity and seeking an honest language that showcases the process itself.
