The need for innovative and resilient architectural solutions has driven the development of new construction technologies. Among these technologies, additive manufacturing (AM), combined with advanced digital tools, represents a promising approach to address the challenges of the contemporary built environment. The ability to create complex geometries, minimize waste, and utilize recyclable materials makes AM a viable alternative for sustainable construction.

In this context, the FORMA project – Manufacturing Oriented for Resilience and Architectural Modularity – proposes the research and development of digitally manufactured, modular architectural components optimized to respond to risk scenarios and urban challenges, such as floods, natural disasters, and threats to public safety. The modularity of the solutions will enable the rapid assembly of architectural infrastructures, allowing for adaptation to different contexts and needs.

The FORMA project proposes an integrated approach that combines research into new sustainable materials, computational modeling, AM, and automation for modular construction, enabling the creation of more efficient, adaptable infrastructures with a lower environmental impact.
