dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates the integration of 3D printing with clay and post-tensioning techniques, seeking to establish a structural reinforcement system for 3D-printed clay pieces. The primary goal is to marry the inherent flexibility of clay with the strength provided by post-tensioning, thereby introducing a novel construction paradigm. The culmination of this research involves the design and realization of a pavilion or architectural structure, serving as a practical demonstration of the proposed system's viability in real-world applications. Through an exhaustive review of existing projects and the development of an innovative construction methodology, this study contributes to the evolving landscape of sustainable and adaptable architectural solutions.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralIn this research, I delved into the intricate realm of construction, specifically exploring the possibilities when 3D printing technology meets clay, an age-old material. The main thrust was to devise a system that fortifies 3D printed clay pieces using a technique known as post-tensioning—transforming them into not just visually captivating structures but also robust in their structural integrity. Picture a pavilion or architectural marvel materializing from this fusion. This research isn't confined to theoretical musings; it's about crafting tangible structures that redefine the horizons of sustainable and adaptable architecture. Join me in navigating this journey where clay seamlessly converges with the avant-garde!en
