RESEARCH AGENDAS
XL METAL 3D PRINTING (WAAM)
This approach is fast and relatively inexpensive, making it the ideal approach to building scale metal printing.
XL POLYMER 3D PRINTING
This research explores techniques for robotic extrusion and the implications this has for design.
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS 3D PRINTING
Development of 3D glass printing for architectural applications.
FIBER-COMPOSITE PRINTED TECTONICS
This research explores the design of tectonic prototypes that compress surface and structure through the integration of carbon fibre composites and 3D-printed polymer skins.
GEL SUSPENSION 3D PRINTING
Development of gel suspension printing techniques and an exploration of their design implications and tectonics.
BIO-MATERIAL PRINTING
This research explores the design implications of constructing architecture from biological materials which are grown.
EARTH TECTONICS - PRINTED FORMWORK
Earth Tectonics leverages the capacity of robotic 3D printed formwork to create highly detailed rammed earth structures.
MULTI-AGENT GENERATIVE DESIGN
This generative design approach encodes design intent within computational agents that self-organize to create an emergent architectural intention, and proto-architectural form and structure.
PAINTERLY FORMATION
The generation of non-indexical form through the interaction of self-organising generative processes and painterly operations
DIFFUSION TECTONICS
Diffusion Tectonics explores the application of generative AI in shaping proto-architectural tectonics with a central focus is the training of AI diffusion models,
SACRIFICIAL FORMWORK
This research explores large-scale polymer 3D printing of permanent, or sacrificial, formwork.
PRINTED FORMWORK
This research explores large-scale polymer 3D printing of formwork for cast concrete.
REAL-TIME ROBOTICS
This research is developing robust real-time control systems and computer vision approaches to robotics.
