Over the past decade, architecture as well as other affiliated fields have been exposed to several waves of almost techno-fetishistic exuberance related to emerging technologies. One of these waves has been and still is additive manufacturing. The omnipresence of this topic has almost caused a 3D printing fatigue, as repetitiveness—in terms of both material and form aesthetics— and design related self-referencing started to creep it. Printing Architecture manages to offer a reinvigorating perspective on the subject, extending architecture’s material palette and defying the ‘plastic-fantastic’ association related to 3D printing. The authors, Virginia San Fratello and Ronald Rael, founders of the design practice Emerging Objects, demonstrate a unique material expertise, showcased through innovative material strategies. They use their broad competence to compile a significant contribution to the field of architecture and beyond, by expanding and re-conceptualizing current material landscapes and environments. The declared aim of the authors is ‘to bridge the wide gap that In te rio rs D O I: 10 .1 08 0/ 20 41 91 12 .2 01 9. 15 89 69 2

打印架构

在过去的十年中，建筑以及其他附属领域已经暴露在几波与新兴技术相关的几乎技术拜物教的繁荣浪潮中。这些浪潮之一已经并且仍然是增材制造。这个话题的无所不在几乎引起了 3D 打印的疲劳，因为重复性——在材料和形式美学方面——以及与设计相关的自我参考开始蔓延。打印建筑设法为该主题提供了一个振兴的视角，扩展了建筑的材料调色板，并无视与 3D 打印相关的“塑料-奇妙”关联。作者弗吉尼亚·圣弗拉泰罗和罗纳德·雷尔是 Emerging Objects 设计实践的创始人，他们通过创新的材料策略展示了独特的材料专业知识。他们利用他们广泛的能力，通过扩展和重新概念化当前的物质景观和环境，为建筑及其他领域做出重大贡献。作者宣称的目标是“弥合 DOI 的巨大差距：10 .1 08 0/ 20 41 91 12 .2 01 9. 15 89 69 2
