This project was based on studying the material derived from abundant non-flammable and fully recyclable industrial waste. An ultralight screen façade was manufactured with Robotic 3D Printing of mineral foam discrete elements and cast on Ultra-High-Performance Fibre concrete. Due to its geometry, they allow natural lighting, highlighting the benefits of using this material to create lightweight, sustainable, innovative, and low-impact architectural elements.
