Digital Building TechnologiesOpen OpportunitiesThe project investigates the development of a co-axial extrusion methods for large-scale 3D printing bio-cementation structures. The extruded paste will host microorganisms such as S.Pasteurii, capable of precipitating calcite (MICP) to create bio-concrete structures. A robotic paste 3D printing platform will be used for the fabrication process; the bio-paste will be precipitated and calcified by the bacterial activity reinforcing the material. - Architecture, Urban Environment and Building, Chemistry, Engineering and Technology

| The project aims to explore the bio-fabrication of mycelium-based composites and knitted textiles for architecture and construction. Specifically the textile is used as a growing substrate for mycelium material, offering a sustainable and biodegradable building material and structural system that is strong in both tension and compression. - Composite Materials, Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Fermentation, Biotechnology and Industrial Microbiology
