Tiny House LUX, located in Niederanven, Luxembourg, is a compact residence designed by ODA Architects. It was conceived in collaboration with the local government as a pilot project aimed at addressing the “missing middle” housing issue. The project utilizes narrow leftover plots, employing on-site 3D concrete printing, a wooden frame structure, and a rapid construction … Read more
Scientists are combining traditional materials with bacteria, algae, and fungi to create bio-materials that can acquire practical properties through microbial metabolism. “For example, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis,” says Mark Tibbitt, a professor of macromolecular engineering at ETH Zurich. Currently, the interdisciplinary team led by Tibbitt has turned this … Read more
As the construction industry transitions towards sustainability, automation, and digitalization, polymer composites (PCs) combined with 3D printing technology are becoming a significant driving force for innovation in civil engineering. This technology not only enables the efficient manufacturing of complex engineering structures but also significantly reduces material waste, providing new possibilities for future infrastructure development. This … Read more
