How do you shape concrete into seemingly weightless organic wisps without the use of heavy complex molds? Yarn. Miles and miles of yarn, knitted together using a brand new digital fabrication ...

The heart of the four metre tall curved concrete shell is knitted. The structure's formwork is a textile supported by a steel cable-net. The prototype KnitCandela marks the first application that this ...

Concrete has been around for millennia, but that doesn't mean we can't cook up new ways to build with the world's favorite construction material. It's been electrified to melt snow and used as an "ink ...

A prototype for an ultra-thin, sinuous concrete roof using innovative design and fabrication methods has been designed and built by researchers from the ETH Zurich. The shell is part of a roof-top ...

3D printing of knitted textiles has been used as a structure for complex architecture. This cuts down on material, labor and waste, and simplifies the construction process for complex shapes. A double ...
