SHAP-ENV ENHANCED ROBOTIC TERRAIN-SHAPING FOR 3DCP SHAP-ENV aims at expanding the horizon of large scale additive construction by exploring the possibilities of conformal 3D Concrete Printing, 3D scanning and robotic terrain shaping with the goal of developing innovative digital workflows able to expand the design possibilties of large-scale 3D concrete printing. This project addresses the environmental impact of the construction industry by envisioning a fabrication method that exploits the excavation soil of construction sites, which makes up a significant portion of construction waste and is usually sent to landfills. Moreover, using unprocessed soil as a non-planar printing bed for on-site 3DCP, SHAP-ENV’s workflow envisions a multi-step process where a robotic arm performs terrain shaping and conformal extrusion, following a digital target model. To overcome the uncertainties arising in working with soil with variable composition and properties, we incorporate 3D scanning through depth cameras to guide the process. This robotic fabrication method has been successfully tested in a lab environment through the development of a proof-of-concept bespoke doubly curved hollow shell panel. This approach provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution for large-scale 3D concrete printing using readily available soil resources, while enabling the possibility to exploit the benefits of automated construction in remote and unknown environments.

EXCAVATION MOTION Discrete motions mapped onto desired surface composed by four distinct motions: vertically plunging into the terrain, reorientation of tool, excavation along path and diagonal exit.
PRINTING MOTION The printing motion performed on the excavated supporting material requires control of the extruded layer width. This is achieved using a range of variable robot speeds.
EMBANKMENT MOTION This motion is composed by a twofold process. After scanning the resulting soil layout, a rough motion of the required volume of soil is executed, followed by a refinement motion. 7

AM-PED AM
DRIVEN DESIGN FOR BIKE COMPONENTS
AM-PED is the result of an experimentation on additive manufacturing driven design performed in the context of bike components. The design rethinks the design of a bicycle pedal, crank arm and chain ring element focusing and exploiting the fabrication possibilities of AM. The use of topological optimization, case specific structural optimization and lattice structure integration expands the possibilities of bike component design, highlighting the need for lightweight and highly performative solutions that can be achieved only leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies.

3DLOOP CAMERA-ROBOTIC SENSING FOR 3DCP Construction Robotics is a rapidly upcoming area of development in the field of automation. The building industry suffered historically from insufficient automation levels, which are explained by the difficulties related to automating material-intensive construction processes, the scale and complexity of the construction environment, and the level of customization needed for building production. Extrusion-based 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is one of the leading development areas in architectural and construction robotics at present. Despite its great potential in revolutionizing the way we build sustainable architecture and providing a safer construction site, the robotic 3DCP process is still characterized by a limited automation level. This is because the high degree of complexity in handling cementitious materials still demands human interventions to manage changes in operational conditions, e.g. temperature and humidity. This project aims at rendering robot-based 3DCP autonomous and robust by 1) monitoring key aspects that impact the 3DCP process and 2) elaborating a concept for a robotic system capable of adjusting in real-time aspects such as the extrusion rate as well as quality and dimensional monitoring.

1C In order to test the transferability of this workflow to large scale structures, the monitoring of the printed specimen focused on collecting 3D data for measurements on specific target points, in order to sample specific geometrical conditions which are prone to failure due to their conformation. At each monitoring point, the geometrical informations regarding layer height, width and misalignment from planned path are measured and recorded.

ABOVE/ACROSS PROJECT FOR A STARTUP INCUBATOR Above/Across showcases the research devoted to technological solutions in order to achieve a high quality design. The design brief, requiring a series of office spaces for emerging innovative companies, allowed the development of an architectural project where custom technological design, structural design and architectural design come into play altogether in order to create flexible spaces. Above/ Across, with simple volumes creating different plazas and paths at different levels, aims at strengheting the relationship between the campus of Politecnico di Milano and the rest of the public life.

The design for the parametric perforated mesh facade was achieved through the combination of data collected from a Solar Irradiation Analysis of the building surfaces. The goal was to evaluate the effect that the surrounding context and vegetation has on the building volumes in terms of solar radiation absorbed over time. The size and density of the mesh is adapted to such parametric analysis.

POROCITY PROJECT FOR A MIXED USE HOUSING Living the essence of the city of Chicago, at the edge between vertical and horizontal, chasing a hyperconnected city where a building isn’t just a building, but the shaping force of our living habits. PoroCity addresses the city and its challenges directly, in an attempt to activate more than just its site, but to nurture and promote a new way of integrating city and river, and new urban flows altogether. The mission of the project includes interpreting the way of living the city of the 21st century as a flexible one, where the necessity for vibrant activities and services within the limits of the residential building itself is not just a luxury anymore but a necessity, therefore the building needs to be a porous one, providing a connective environment in which the city can enter the building and vice-versa. The three main elements composing the building: the Northern Tower, the Southern Volume and the Platform, which houses most of the public functions and transforms itself into a bridge connecting the other side of the riverfront, represent three elements of an integrated system which constantly interacts with the river as the main ordering element for the organization of the public spaces.

Since Apollo missions, robotic exploration of deep space has seen decades of technological advancement and scientific discoveries. Today, NASA’s Artemis Program is envisioning a plan to drive humanity to live on the Moon. Indeed, the possibility of building a permanent settlement on the Moon is still a major challenge. Lunar Architecture Design Exploration (LADE) project’s output is a mobile space architecture system that enables human presence on the Moon, allowing medium to long term missions.

The design workflow for LADE is strictly connected and dependent on the mission definition, payload constraints and mobility requirements of the mobile habitat. These conditions guided the parametric optimization process leading to a final geometrical configuration. The structure has then been optimized and tuned to satisfy the constraints using a data driven approach. Computational design approach

The combination of 3 cells creates a cluster which is sheltered under a 3D printed shell. Finally, the combination of clusters allows the generation of a reconfigurable system defining the masterplan of the outpost.
