ALA Webinar Series: Exploring 3d Concrete Printing

3D Concrete Printing is transforming the way architects approach design, offering opportunities to create innovative geometries and textures once considered impractical. This technology allows architects to redefine texture through layer manipulation and unconventional shapes, opening a world of possibilities for impactful designs. This webinar will showcase groundbreaking case studies, explore the potential and limitations of 3D concrete printing, and demonstrate how architects can integrate this technology into their work to leave a lasting legacy.
 
This webinar qualifies for HSW as it addresses innovative design strategies that improve the functionality, durability, and sustainability of architectural structures. By exploring 3D concrete printing’s ability to optimize construction processes, reduce material waste, and create more resilient designs, participants will gain knowledge that directly enhances public safety and welfare while fostering sustainable practices in the built environment.
 
Learning Objectives:
Understand the fundamentals of 3D concrete printing and how it differs from traditional formwork in terms of design capabilities and limitations.
Explore case studies that showcase innovative geometries and textures achieved through concrete printing technology.
Analyze the process of layer manipulation to create unique textures and finishes, and its impact on design aesthetics and functionality.
Identify practical strategies for integrating 3D concrete printing techniques into current architectural projects to enhance creativity and sustainability.
Evaluate the potential and limitations of 3D concrete printing to push the boundaries of architectural design while maintaining structural integrity.
