- Digital fabrication offers new opportunities for revitalizing aged buildings in the time of craft expertise decline and higher demands regarding the sustainability of employed materials. Precise reproduction of architectural elements with digital 3D reconstruction methods such as photo-grammetry, and their repair using agile robotic 3D printing involving new environmentally friendly materials can save time and resources, leading to more circular design and manufacturing. This study presents digital workflows for architectural restoration, based on the concept of aesthetic retrofitting of deteriorated wooden architectural elements through the application of surface finishes from a novel biomaterial – nanocellulose hydrogel, upcycled from forestry waste. The workflows were established through experimental digital design and reproduction of wooden architectural details in an existing historical building, and executed within an integrated digital framework combining photogrammetry, 2D graphics processing, computational design and robotic 3D printing. Overall, the investigation has sought to demonstrate the potential of nanocellulose as a material suitable for applications in renovation and conservation. Further, the intention was to elucidate the role of digital tools as new media of restoration that enable to uplift cultural assets in an alterna-tive way - by allowing to embed aesthetic features conveying the contemporaneity of remedial interventions. Aiming to contribute to current work in experimental preservation, the study offers a novel approach in which deteriorated architectural elements are endowed with a new materiality that follows the new logic of circularity in contemporary design and construction.

BioArchitecture: New Futures of Sustainable Living
- 2022

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Public exhibition and lecture at the International Science Festival, Vetenskapsfestivalen 2022, in Gothenburg, Sweden. The presentation provides glimpses of an unknown future of living surrounded by architectural structures made from sustainable biomaterials. Audience is encouraged to reflect and create their own imaginings of such a future by experiencing physical samples representing fragments of architectural objects from such materials, 3D printed using digital machines and industrial robots. In the lecture, an unusual research collaboration between seemingly unrelated disciplines - architecture and chemistry - is discussed. The aim is to demonstrate how a crossover between artistic design, digital technology and natural sciences creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation. Such innovation relates to a sustainable future in which waste from the Swedish forestry industry is transformed into a novel material with great potentials for new applications in architecture and built environment.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study presents a pedagogical framework familiarizing architecture students with explorations of non-programmable material effects through non-standard robotic 3D printing. The purpose of integrating such explorations in education is to train architects-to-be in embracing the challenges related to working close with architectural materials and production, requiring new stances toward the dichotomies between drawing and building, material agency and error as well as precision and lack of full control over the design outcome. The framework was evaluated in an architectural course on artistic robotic 3D printing. The results show that it achieves the aim of supporting students in addressing, in an informed and creative manner, the uncertainties of digitally aided materialization. The students explored refined material effects while acquiring practical digital manufacturing skills and critically engaging with theories and discourses on new materiality and non-standard production. Hence, the proposed pedagogy can be employed to complement the current education curricula, providing architecture students with a broader outlook necessary for fully embracing opportunities and challenges at the crossing between new materials and digital production.
