An Integrated Workflow for Designing and Fabricating Multi-Functional Building Components through Additive Manufacturing with Clay

This article presents a project that explores the potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for designing and fabricating multi-functional building components for improved climate performance. In this project, an innovative façade wall design was developed by using a computational method in an attempt to integrate a displacement ventilation...

3D Printing Clay Facade Walls: Integrating Ventilation systems into printing process

Since 3D printing is relatively new in the architecture applications, exploring how it could be integrated with environment-friendly materials as clay could lead to a more sustainable approach for materialising complex building components.<br/>This research is investigating the answer to the research question “What are the printing techniques...

Residential ventilation concepts based on the idea of displacement airflow distribution

The thesis focused on the development of a residential ventilation concept based on displacement airflow distribution for balanced systems with heat recovery. Within the framework of this study, the thermally stratified ventilation systems and their ability to create better indoor air quality were researched thoroughly via the scientific...
