Intelligent Force Printing - by Philip F Yuan & Ding Wen 'Nic' Bao (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

With a focus on intelligent computational design, the studio aims to revolutionize additive manufacturing techniques, particularly within the realm of large-scale concrete 3D printing. Through the utilization of digital design and cutting-edge fabrication methods, including three-dimensional graphic statics, bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization, and FURobot robotic manufacturing, students undergo a transformative journey, refining their design thinking, methodologies, and construction skills.
As a tangible outcome, the studio presents an experimental large-scale pavilion, serving as a testament to the practical implications of their research. This volume, soon to be published, encapsulates the studio's findings, delving into both the aesthetic forms shaped by emerging design philosophies and the potential future applications of 3D articulate printing technology within the construction industry.
