Abstract
Additive manufacturing is revolutionising architecture and design by enabling the manufacture of data-driven complex forms created by computational design, which could not be realised by conventional ways of craft and making. Robotic 3D printing with earth presents a promising alternative for the future of earthen architecture. Building with earth is a time tested environmental construction method which can be enhanced with digital fabrication. This paper presents the opportunities and challenges of ongoing research integrating robotic 3D printing with conventional earthen building techniques.
