“…This type of methodology falls under the “design as scholarship” method, as an open process that follows a research trajectory on materiality (Brown et al , 2013) where “material experiments are broader in nature with the aim of revealing unanticipated applications” rather than strict performance criteria. The research in the classroom is conducted as a studio laboratory, where an experiential learning through making is key.…”

“…This paper presents an applied research method that focuses on explorations in materiality as a design framework (Brown et al , 2013) and on intersecting material know-how with advanced tools and fabrication. It posits the possibility for applying such an iterative material/digital design method to offer new environmental alternatives to concrete composites, the most abundantly used building material by far.…”

PurposeThis paper presents the applied research and design work on innovative and sustainable building products developed by an undergraduate architecture seminar course. It presents the case for innovative uses of cement-based products, while framing the proposals within a global shift toward environmentally responsive and bio-integrated materials.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology utilizes a process of hybridization between digital fabrication and analog making methods that is framed within the larger design discourse and that intersects the digital design process with material know-how. The approach engages local problematics and applies advanced technology and the integration of natural behaviors to develop a rich applied design method.FindingsThrough the presented work and proposed building products, critical findings and outcomes emerge, ones that relate to the design process itself and others to the designed products.Originality/valueThe research presented here proposes novel approaches to cement-based building systems utilizing digital and analog fabrication, and original design solutions that engage with their context and provide active and crucial environmental performance.
