3D PRINTING SUMMER SCHOOL
UPCOMING DEPLOYMENT // 20.07.2026 - 24.07.2026

3D PRINTING SUMMER SCHOOL

A hands-on multi-day program exploring clay, computational design, and robotic 3D printing in construction.

Event overview

This summer school explores how additive manufacturing can open new possibilities for building with earth. Participants work across material understanding, digital design, and robotic production to develop an integrated view of material, geometry, and fabrication.

What this program explores

Earth as a circular and locally available building material

Computational design for additive construction

Robotic workflows for 1:1 prototyping

New tectonic and architectural possibilities through material-aware fabrication

Workshop structure

Day 1 - Resources

Introduction to building with earth and the material behavior of earth-based construction materials.

Day 2-3 - Reimagine

Computational design explorations for new assembly logics, geometries, and additive construction principles.

Day 4-5 - Robotics

Introduction to robotic programming and robotic fabrication, leading into physical 1:1 prototyping.

Jury discussion on Thursday with pizza and drinks.

What participants will gain

  • Understanding of core principles of building with earth
  • A practical introduction to computational design and robotic programming
  • Insight into the relationship between material, geometry, and fabrication process
  • Experience in translating design ideas into large-format prototypes

Who it is for

This program is for students and emerging designers interested in materials, digital design, fabrication, and construction innovation.

Why join

This is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between ancient earth materials and futuristic fabrication, allowing you to learn highly sought-after parametric and robotic construction skills alongside experts.

ANNOUNCED

A focused summer school for those who want to rethink construction through material intelligence and robotic making.

From material to machine.

Explore how earth, geometry, and robotics come together in additive construction.
