Revolutionizing the way we build via digital fabrication technologies | Benjamin Dillenburger

Architects have so far used 3D printing mostly for making prototypes – but it could be scaled up, to enable “smart stones” to be printed on a building site and used to make buildings. Benjamin Dillenburger, Assistant Professor for Digital Building Technologies at ETH Zurich, explains how this promises to improve efficiency by integrating functions and reducing material use, and create a new architectural language by enabling greater complexity.
