Printing a New Architecture | James Rose | TEDxUTK
James Rose details the emergence and wider context of new materials and design and construction processes that can redefine what’s possible in architecture. James shares insights from pioneering work which highlights the expanding boundaries of additive manufacturing both as a tool for industrial design and large scale architectural projects. Key among his focuses is reducing the embodied energy of and closing the lifecycle loop for new materials and construction.
