Abstract

Since what is often referred to as the 'digital revolution' in architecture, novel materials and digital tools have significantly altered architectural ecologies. The paper compares two case study projects as part of ongoing research. Examining overlaps between the natural, the virtual, and the built environments, it explores a variety of overlaps, continuities, and interfaces. Each project operates on the threshold of what is conventionally considered the 'natural' and the 'artificial' in material, shape, and experience contexts. Informed by theory, the projects establish nuanced interfaces between the digital and the material. Both projects were fabricated using robotic 3D printing with a variety of materials. The paper describes and compares them concerning sustainability and provides an overview of the different spatial concepts of the two projects.
