Abstract

The ongoing development of digital design and fabrication techniques has explicitly changed the way architecture is thought, designed and produced. 3D Concrete Printing Technology personifies best the long-lasting pursuit of non-standard production in architecture. A recently established tendency of systematic recourse to optimization algorithms for formal design fashioned a general belief into the sustainable character of those forms as well as the potential of digital technologies in field of environmental performance of construction sector.
This paper presents a case study of environmental evaluation of a generic building system redesigned for mortar 3D Printing technology. The life cycle assessment of construction phase of a system has been performed and the sensitivity study has been effectuated. The results show that the contribution of robotic 3D printing system to the overall result is fairly significant and, in some figures, can even exceed the one of the materials.
