Additive Manufacturing in Construction
AMC TRR 277

Focus Area Project: Project C 02

B.A. Lisa Ableitner

Lisa Ableitner is a research assistant at the Professorship of Structural Design at the TUM School of Engineering and Design under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Pierluigi D’Acunto. With a background in architecture and a focus on computational design methods, her research centres on integrating life-cycle assessment into form-finding processes for structural systems in early design stages. In this context, she investigates the interplay between computational design approaches and extrusion-based additive manufacturing, contributing to resource-efficient and fabrication-aware design methodologies.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai-Uwe Bletzinger

is the head of the chair of structur alanalysis. He is responsible for all actions, in particular regarding research, education and administration. He was esponsible for the C02 project and its coordination within the TRR. He guided all staff in that context and decided about research actions.

M. A. Frederic Chovghi

Frederic Chovghi is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Structural Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His primary research focuses on the development of fabrication-aware form-finding methods for extrusion 3D printing.

Prof. Dr. sc. ETH Zurich Pierluigi D’Acunto

Pierluigi D'Acunto is Assistant Professor of Structural Design and a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich. He holds a combined degree in Building Engineering-Architecture from the University of Pisa, a Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London, and a doctorate with distinction from ETH Zurich. His research explores geometry-based methods in structural design, computational approaches using equilibrium modeling, machine learning-driven form-finding, and fabrication-aware structural design strategies supported by advanced digital manufacturing technologies.

M. Sc. Sebastian Charles Dietrich

Sebastian Dietrich began his career with an apprenticeship as a formwork carpenter (2002-2005), later attending craftsman school and working in construction and architectural firms until 2010. He then studied International Civil Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz and completed a Masters in Archineering at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, gaining experience in architecture and structural design. From 2017 to 2022, he worked at Bollinger+Grohmann as a structural engineer, focusing on projects involving existing structures and parametric design. Since 2021, he has been a research assistant at the Chair of Structural Design, researching topological interlocking structures, especially in the context of 3D concrete printing.
