Researchers at technology university ETH Zurich have created a deeply ridged ceiling called the HiRes Concrete Slab, which they claim saves energy while offering a spectacular aesthetic.
The world’s first ever full scale lightweight concrete slab was fabricated by ETH Zurich using a 3D sand printer for its formwork.
ETH Zurich describes the slab as combining "the structural strength of concrete with the design freedom of 3D printing". A secondary formwork made using a more traditional mould of CNC-cut timber ...
