Final Review of the Masters project 3D Printing Earth Architecture at the Professorship of Digital Fabrication (Prof. Kathrin Dörfler).
Regenerative resources can be extracted from cyclic processes without reducing the capacity of that cycle without progressive depletion. Earthen materials, when not used in concrete and within non-cyclical hydration processes, are such materials which can be sourced, shaped, and reused in endless cycles. They recently gained popularity in Additive Manufacturing in Construction, where clay is used as a regenerative binder in various AM processes. In this project, we will study a novel process referred to as Intrusion Earth Additive Manufacturing (IEAM), in which a clay paste is intruded into a particle bed, compacted (similar to rammed earth manufacturing), and demoulded for the prefabrication of building components. Following a fabrication-aware design methodology, IEAM will act as a driver for building design and construction.
