The Earth Printing compact design course, led by Prof. Norman Hack and Noor Khader from the Institute of Structural Design (ITE), explored the ways in which advanced technology, specifically 3D ceramic printing, has transformed the world of design and fabrication nowadays. The use of advanced technologies and parametric modeling has enabled designers and architects to develop intricate and complex designs informed by variable parameters. This has opened up new possibilities for a novel design expression, highly detailed patterns and textures, and visually striking objects that are both functional and beautiful.
