Southeast University architects created a series of skeleton concrete structures using 3D-printed formworks as a digital take on 19th-century French structural rationalism.

The White Tower, known as “Weisser Turm,” stands as a groundbreaking architectural marvel that has captured global attention. Nestled in the secluded village of Mulegns, Switzerland, along the enchanting Julier mountain pass, this towering structure reaches a height of 29 meters and is entirely constructed using 3D printing technology.

QS announced the top universities to study Architecture and the Built Environment in 2023. The index includes around 1,500 universities and filters by different criteria, from academic reputation to the number of international students enrolled and locations across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Clay Rotunda is a free-standing earth-based cylindrical structure that serves as the outer, soundproof shell of the SE MusicLab, a high-fidelity music auditorium constructed inside Bern’s renovated Gurten Brewery.

CantiBox is a robotically assembled structure designed by Gramazio Kohler Research that represents a novel application of the design and automatic assembly of interlocking timber-to-timber connections.

Knitnervi is a pavilion-scale demonstration of a ribbed concrete shell constructed with a flexible formwork system. A bending-active gridshell serves as falsework and reinforcement and is encased by CNC-knitted shuttering.

Dancers performed around 3D-printed concrete 2.7m tall columns which created by master students from ETH Zurich with the support of NCCR DFAB

The “Digital Metal” project is part of Mania Aghaei Meibodi’s study on “3D printing+,” which she completed as part of her Master of Advanced Studies at ETH Zurich.

The doubly-curved roof and latticed structural membranes knit by integrating advanced systems and human inputs, shape the next evolutionary step to sustainable construction. HiLo presents the attractive architecture woven by the combination of energy-resource saving construction and execution. Hilo designed atop Empa’s and Eawag’s NEST research and innovation building implemented by ETH Zurich’s Block Research Group and the Architecture and Building Systems Group in collaboration with many industrial partners take the giant leap of sustainable creations.
