“Advanced Computational Design & Fabrication: Concrete Robotic 3D Printing in Architecture”
The (pre-)doctoral summer school 3D Build 2023 is a high-standard 60-hour training programme focusing on the fundamental aspects of architecture, architectural technology and engineering, in line with top-tier research centres and leading experts in the field.
Broaden your international experience!
Co-organised by the National School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture of Lille, the Institut Mines-Télécom Nord Europe and the International Academy, it will offer you top-tier scientific lectures taught in English by eminent researchers in the field in the form of a workshop.
You will also experience cultural visits and events as well as a supervised research project assessed by an oral defence.
Challenge your scientific potential!
As a research-oriented programme, the summer school is dedicated to students willing to network into their PhD or postdoc in France. The participants should have a good English level, an excellent academic background in the fields of architecture or civil engineering and preferably a basic knowledge of Rhinoceros and Grasshopper.
Building your future!
ECTS: 5 credits
Registration deadline: June 7th

We are pleased to invite you to the 2nd public meeting of the CIRMAP project, an Interreg NWE-funded project focused on the design and manufacture of customised 3D printed concrete urban furniture using recycled fine aggregates.
The event will be held on 9th March 2023 and hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University (UK). Key results to date will be shared by project partners. Designs for the street furniture will also be presented and Manchester Met will be unveiling one prototype 3D concrete printed street furniture designed by one of their students. During the day there will be a tour of the facilities and a concrete 3D print demonstration using the UK formula with recycled fine aggregates.
The event will conclude with an advisory board meeting and all attendees are invited to discuss achievements, challenges, and long-term outcomes from the project.
This in-person event is free to attend and will be held in English. For more information, please contact Nick Hurst, Manchester Met Project Manager for CIRMAP, n.hurst@mmu.ac.uk.

The 4th edition of the French-speaking international conference on new materials took place at the National School of Architecture in Montpellier on November 16th and 17th. The conference addressed three themes: development and use of new building materials, structures durability and envelope durability. Both numerical and experimental research were presented. The ArGEnCo department (Architecture, Geology, Environment & Constructions) of the University of Liège presented a poster on CIRMAP project explaining life cycle assesment of 3D printed furniture using fine recycled aggregates.

During the second workshop, the students chose to develop concepts based on metaphorical ideas: a mobius strip and organic growth clusters. Much of their effort was focused on developing clear computational logics that would allow their concepts to be implemented in a variety of locations. During their 2 printing sessions at Polytech Lille and the CSTC, they explored the limits of what could be done in terms of overlapping during the extrusion process as well as gain a better idea of what could be feasible for local slopes in their geometry and the effects/parameters/possibilities of nonplanar printing.

During this 1st workshop, students worked first on concepts/ideas and design. They printed 3D small-scale plastic prototypes. Then they had one day of printing tests. The first indicator to verify was the imprimability of shapes. The second indicator to verify was the mortar formulations by adjusting the amount of water. The use of a climatic chamber allows to test printing performance depending on temperature and humidity.
increases. These problems can be solved by changing the printing flow or the nozzle speed.
In total about 7-8 shapes were tested. This workshop demonstrated promising results but difficulties still remain when the height or the eccentricity of shapes increases. These problems can be solved by changing the printing flow or the nozzle speed.
