Growing concern about resources and energy consumption in the construction industry has brought new challenges to the design of façades. This project tackles this issue envisioning an innovative use of Additive Manufacturing technologies, thus offering unprecedented design freedom as well as enhanced sustainability, energy efficiency and optical performances. Through collaboration between research-leading institutions, the project stands as a benchmark being the first large-scale application of these technologies while challenging at the same time the archetype of the traditional museum.
