Work submitted for the competition
"Best Diploma Architecture".
The premise of the thesis was to combine 3D printing with concrete and modular architecture. Through the use of breakthrough technology, the mass of the project achieved a unique and expressive form without increasing the organizational and construction complexity of the intention. The guiding idea for the use of 3D printing was to minimize the use of concrete as much as possible with an optimized building structure and aesthetics that catch the eye of the passerby.

The supporting structure is printed as a concrete shell, then reinforced with steel bars and poured with concrete. The remaining walls made with this technology are filled with recycled polystyrene foam of a thickness adapted for insulation.

In terms of functionality, the building is divided into residential and service areas. The offices are made with a slab-and-column system to achieve an open space for an open-space layout. The residential part consists of two repeating modules, which are also combined into larger apartments.

The smaller residential modules are located on the north wall of the building, which allows to meet the exposure requirements for one-room apartments. Each cubic allows the separation of a night zone, thus increasing the intimacy of use, as well as allowing great flexibility in a small space.
Larger modules are located on the south wall of the building, offering a larger living space with a separate bedroom.

The concept is to be as repetitive as possible, with 3D printing also proposing unique modules that are the extremes of the design.
The modules are printed with the floor and walls/columns, and then connected using screw joints to create one cohesive object.
