Will 3D concrete printing disrupt the construction scenario and redefine building design?

A consortium of architects uses 3D concrete printing to design and build a foot-over bridge – a prototype that opens new avenues to deliberate the way we address our built environment and defines the challenges of our era.3D printing can be used to build load-bearing concrete structures that require significantly less material and no steel reinforcement or mortar. ETH architects and engineers from the Block Research Group in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects and other partners from the industry demonstrate how this works with a footbridge in a park in Venice. Millions of new buildings all over the world are […]
